  "abstract": "The standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) relies on two unobserved components—Dark Energy (~68%) and Cold Dark Matter (~27%)—\n\nto reconcile metric expansion equations with observational anomalies. By applying Occam’s razor, this paper shows that the expanding\n\nballoon paradigm is an interpretive artifact. The cosmological redshift and apparent late-time acceleration are the direct kinematic\n\nconsequence of radial free fall within a macroscopic gravitational potential gradient. When multiple bodies fall toward a common\n\ngravitational attractor from differing initial elevations, differential acceleration naturally induces mutual longitudinal separation (redshift)\n\nentirely fueled by gravitational potential energy, strictly preserving energy conservation without invoking dark energy. Simultaneously, the\n\nflat rotation curves of spiral galaxies are explained without non-baryonic dark matter halos: an open galactic disk undergoing free fall\n\nthrough a convergent gravitational gradient experiences tidal radial compression. By the conservation of angular momentum (the figure\n\nskater effect), this inward radial contraction forces outer stars to accelerate tangentially. Furthermore, this dynamic infall framework\n\ninherently resolves the Hubble tension, the bulk flow cosmic dipole, and the anomalously massive early galaxies recently observed by the\n\nJames Webb Space Telescope (JWST).",
