This lack of understanding not only has hampered progress in the understanding of cosmic history but also of the constituents of the universe as most of them are of a still unknown nature and cannot be observed directly. We calculate a new theoretical and model-independent prediction for the weak lensing power spectrum using both model-independent cosmology, a newly invented method to circumvent the need of a cosmological model, as well as Kinetic Field Theory, a recent technique to analytically describe the nonlinear stages of structure formation. Thus, by adding a nearly parameter-free prediction of the central statistical quantity of gravitational lensing ? a well established method to analyse the distribution of cosmic matter density ? to the framework of Kinetic Field Theory we provide another possibility in order to verify, calibrate and improve the successful analytic approach to nonlinear cosmic structure formation.
