I have long wondered if the redshift were actually caused by decay of photons (the speed of the particle constant, but the wavelength decreasing). If so, the universe may not be expanding at all. If neither the speed nor the wavelength of light is constant, what do we really know?
Also interesting is ‘knot theory’ physics...

I think photon decay would be testable in the lab.
Since I’m already in way above my head, I’m pinging my 2 favorite cosmologists, Alamo Girl and Betty Boop.

Or that higher redshift is a property of younger matter as seen in the decreasing,
quantized redshift in successively more distant quasars ejected from Seifert galaxies.
