A definite maybe. I\'ve never been happy with dark energy as an
explanation but the experimental evidence is now pretty clear that the
expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating rather than slowing
down so something must be driving that.
I\'d prefer to believe that there is something odd about first generation
stars myself but my friends still in the game say that isn\'t workable.
If your \"standard candles\" of known brightness are not as reproducible
as you think they are then there is scope for systematic error. The very
first generation of low metallicity stars made from primordial material
might just behave differently at the end of their life.

One of my contemporaries at university is now a world leading string
theorist. I don\'t find it a convincing solution because of too many free
parameters and not enough observable predictions but he could be right.
It is quite likely that the next big breakthrough in cosmology will come
from some new cutting edge mathematics that allows the tricky merger of
general relativity, QCD and gravitation into one overarching theory.
I suspect that we will know it when we see it presented although like
with relativity I expect there will be a rearguard action of older
cosmologists who never quite accepted the new fangled Big Bang theory.
Fred Hoyle for instance who should really have got a Nobel prize for his
work and insights on stellar nucleosynthesis but was too much a a bluff
Yorkshireman to garner enough support from his peers.

We\'re still waiting for a single testable prediction. The number of
smart people who have poured their life\'s work down that rathole is a
tragedy.

By Mechanism do you mean mechanism for the redshift ?
An interesting similar effect happens with emission /absorption
spectra. Light is always re emitted at a slightly longer wavelength.
When passing through an atom.
Maybe this effect also happens at any point in the vacuum. But by a
much smaller increment. Ie cosmological Redshift.
Le Sage theory of gravity does it for me
If those particles originate in processes in stars then the \'universe\' will
be expanding ever faster
(pushing itself apart).
It predicts clocks slowing down in a gravity well (less flux, mass less compressed,
pendulum getting longer)
and if those particles are also the carrier of EM radiation (so EM a state
of those for example)
that would explain why gravity moves at the speed of light (seems to have
been tested).
All that string theory crap, adding enough \'dimensions\' can make you explain
anything.. add a fairy too, same thing,
Mechanism is the solution, electronics without electrons would be really a
dead end road.
Le Sage also predicts internal heating of planets... Not that jive about nuclear
processes doing it (no evidence of that)..
But Albert E. devotees known as brainwashed \'scientists\' indoctrinate people.
Few hundred years ago epicycles, earth in the middle of everything, same mathematicians,
VERY complicated system
only the best of them could work with..
What\'s new....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Sage\'s_theory_of_gravitation
If this is right flying faster then light would be no problem.
You then also see that time does not slow down like they think at high speed,
but the pendulum gets squeezed in a different
way above light speed.
And if indeed light is a state of LS particles it is 1) quantisized but NOT
at the photon level
and 2) it will slow down over greater distances due to interaction with other
things it encounters including itself
so redshift.. maybe even doing away with the big bang..
So there is room for speculation.

The entire math academic math community has poured their
life\'s work into non-testable predictions (loosely speaking).
Is it all a rathole?
The string theorists are mathematicians. They fill a legitimate
niche. Presumably you\'re familiar with the origins of the university -
Oxford and Cambridge - as the ivory tower, where scholars can
escape the real world, and think deep thoughts. The string theorists
fit that tradition.
