Scott Douglas Jacobsen presses for testability in informational cosmology. Rick Rosner argues near-term tests must target present-day signs of matter older than the universe’s apparent 13.8 billion-year age, despite observability limits: dim, delocalized halo objects and small lensing. He expects space based mega telescopes and AI analytics to reveal super old objects and excess heavy element abundances versus Big Bang predictions, plus more convoluted structure near T~0 from repeated burn collapse cycles. For clarity and precision, he proposes a Gamow-style narrative. Elements beyond uranium are unstable; metallicity rises with time; long lived isotopic ratios date stars and cosmic dating.
