It's difficult to interpret what you are writing 'well it isn't proved if that's what you mean it is theory so it could be wrong' to answer any of the questions.....perhaps you agree, dark matter/energy is not proved so its probably in error or its 'theory' or belief is not 'truth'. science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy/ Not relevant to expansion???? Dark energy and dark matter are inventions of their mother-expansion... science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy/ Snell's Theory states contraction at an ever increasing rate is happening...Einstein's GR and equations are not in error but the (Hubble)'redshift' interpretation to mean 'expanding universe' and subsequent 'dark matter' to explain expansion is in error. The only plausible theory which is provable and having observable evidence indicate contraction at an increasing rate, rather than expansion at an increasing rate and dark matter etc... Good, you agree it could be wrong.... Now think of the universe as contracting at an ever increasing rate.....does that solve a lot of the issues facing cosmology/astrophysics while negating the expansionist theory and need for ideas like dark energy and dark matter??? I have a grasp on the expansionist theory as well as GR and STR etc, expansion fails to have merit. There is no more to know about expansion except that it fails to have explanation except by means of unproven dark matter/energy etc nor does it match observable contraction/evolution/evidence...... your 'criticising' is spelled criticizing 'learn a little more'. Great, you agree Good, you have the right idea, expansion is a theory which may (is) wrong. If contraction is what the universe is in a state of, how does expansion theory explain it? How do expansionists explain their current belief that the universe is expanding at an 'ever' increasing rate??

Is the current/popular beliefs wrong that 1- the universe is expanding and expanding at an ever increasing rate, 2- dark energy or dark matter must exist to explain expansion? Einstein's equations/theory and subsequent based beliefs explained the universe as stable; Hubble's redshift caused a (expansion) constant be inserted, and again a later/recent 'redshift' required another change to an ever increasing constant be included in the equation...in effect proving both the stable and increasing assumptions/beliefs wrong already. Could the ever increasing constant be wrong also? And if they are all wrong, what is the 'other' explanation? After the 2011-2013 composition/review of (Rights Reserved) Snell's Theory on Varying Acceleration (contraction into a spiral/black hole) which explains our universe is 'contracting at an ever increasing rate', plus with further inquiry on such, Snell's finding/theory seems to rise to the top as the only logical everything theory/explanation for understanding the universe and its observable physical events: the universe or the universe's matter/masses is/are contracting at an ever increasing rate....... therefore 'the expansion', dark matter and dark energy is non-existant and why it stays illusive (quoting- 'they are looking for nothing in the dark' about dark matter and expansionist's searching). Is our universe contracting at an ever increasing rate the logical (plausible/provable/scientific) explanation? And if contracting at an ever increasing rate proves and is proven by the observable and predictable, what says expansionists? Does the observable as well as the explainable mandate Expansionism, Dark Energy/Matter all be wrong much like the initial Einstein (stable/increasing) theory so much belief/study/funding is based?

Raider, Perhaps its an error to believe nothing can travel faster than the 'speed of light in a vacuum'.

The theory of Dark Energy or Dark Matter is an error or wrong.... It is the wrong's way to explain the inexplainable....which stems from the error of believing the universe is 'expanding at an ever increasing rate' promoted by the expansionism belief. When the expansionist's belief is flipped to think of it as contracting and contracting at an ever increasing rate....the truth and the rest becomes 'scientifically explainable' while the dark matter/energy crowd can stop searching for nothing in the dark.

The wrong is not with Relativity or Einstein's equations etc......its with current/popular expansionism 'beliefs'. Of course science will prove 'wrong' many who apply/accept 'expansionism' in their models/math/belief...as explained. Einstein's equations/Relativity etc are not wrong, how they are applied/interpreted can be in error....as in (constant and now ever increasing constant in the equation to explain redshift) the equation's (expansion) constant is wrong.

My passing comment---Perhaps it would be better/evident once you understood the center of your expansion(universe) can be found when flipped, and, you think of it as contraction (not expansion)...and imagine the universe/matter is contracting at an 'ever increasing rate'. When thought of as contraction rather than expansion at an ever increasing rate, the rest becomes explainable/obvious/observable. Trying to explain expansion at an ever increasing rate or imagining an 'expanding universe' in 4D is like ''looking for nothing in the dark''....and when 'they-popular expansionism' find something it always seems to be 'nothing' again and again.
