Test-001: Gravitational Boost at Low Accelerations – TFD Zero-Fit Prediction vs. Wide Binary Observations English Abstract: Note: The full text of this document is in German. This report presents a fundamental test of TFD regarding gravitational anomalies. Based on TFD principles 9 and 13, the theory predicts a parameter-free gravitational boost factor of gamma_max = √2 ≈ 1.414. This "Zero-Fit" prediction is compared against Gaia DR3 Wide Binary data. The analysis shows the TFD prediction is statistically compatible with observations (Δchi^2 = 1.23), while the Newtonian model is excluded at 6.20 sigma.
