The theoretical framework of cosmology is mainly defined by gravity, of which general relativity is the current model. Recent tests of general relativity within the \Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model have found a concordance between predictions and the observations of the growth rate and clustering of the cosmic web. General relativity has not hitherto been tested on cosmological scales independent of the assumptions of the \Lambda CDM model. Here we report observation of the gravitational redshift of light coming from galaxies in clusters at the 99 per cent confidence level, based upon archival data. The measurement agrees with the predictions of general relativity and its modification created to explain cosmic acceleration without the need for dark energy (f(R) theory), but is inconsistent with alternative models designed to avoid the presence of dark matter.

  1. Gravitational redshift from large-scale structure: nonlinearities, antisymmetries, and the dipole

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A wide-angle streaming model including gravitational redshift, lightcone and kinematic effects explains the dipole turnover at ~20 h^-1 Mpc as an advection-like shift driven by the density-weighted pairwise potential ...

  2. Signatures of kinetic gravity braiding in cosmological probes of the gravitational field

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    KGB braiding boosts weak-lensing power by ~10–12% at ℓ~10²–10³ and flips the ISW–RS difference from suppression to excess once nonlinear Rees–Sciama physics dominates.
