TUM Cosmology Predicts a Quasar Number-Count Dipole Aligned with the Pantheon+ Supernova Dipole: A Blind Test with Quaia G20.5

TUM Quaia Prediction 2026 v1.3 Registered blind prediction of a quasar number-count dipole using the Quaia G20.5 catalog within the Time-Universe Model framework. This work presents the a priori prediction for a dipole anisotropy in quasar counts based on TUM principles. The prediction was formulated and registered prior to accessing or analyzing the Quaia G20.5 dataset. Key predicted parameters:- Dataset: Quaia G20.5, 1.3 million quasars- Predicted amplitude: A ≈ 0.0074- Predicted direction: Galactic coordinates (l, b) = (297°, 3°) ± 17°- Success criterion: Detection >2σ and direction within 17° cone The analysis follows the methodology established in the TUM framework derived from Cl(8) algebra, which posits a fundamental preferred cosmological axis.
