It's still a fudge factor, or maybe worse. A theory based on a fudge factor. If your models don't fit what you see. Make more stuff up. The phase transition concept is very interesting. Does not stand on it's own though. What is the next phase? And why can't we see any phase differential in our material experiments here on earth?

So what happens with this theory if the “red shift” is not really evidence of the Universe’s expansion....?
