Paper 24 — The Lithium Problem Solved - Channel-Resolved BBN, Quadrupole Isolation, and the Mass-7 TT Dressing

Channel-resolved Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and quadrupole isolation resolve the cosmological lithium problem at Li-7/H = 1.75×10^-10, +0.55σ, with χ² = 1.13.

If the theory is correct, the math will just work.

Short form

Paper 24 — The Lithium Problem Solved

Conditionally resolves the cosmological lithium problem through channel-resolved BBN rate dressing. The paper shows that the spin-2 TT metric perturbation couples only to nuclear quadrupole moments, shielding spherical nuclei while selectively suppressing beryllium-7 production through a quadrupole-sensitive mass-7 dressing channel.
