Lorentzian correction for the evolution of the CMB temperature
Observational evidence consistently shows that the universe is spatially flat and undergoes Lorentzian time dilation as a function of redshift. In combination, such discoveries suggest that a Minkowskian description of cosmology might be technically viable. The thermal evolution that transpires in a conformal spacetime is herein derived. The description is constrained by the energy conservation of a unified cosmic fluid. The resulting model puts forth a Lorentzian correction for the temperature of the CMB as a function of redshift, which improves current data fitting without adding any free parameter. Furthermore, it sheds light upon the early galaxy formation problem: our model predicts up to 0.86 Gyr older objects within the first two billion years of the structure evolution in the universe.
