The PDT* (pressure/density/'Temp') of the spatial medium drops precipitously from the instant of the BB, gradually leveling out to its present value. The HST can see out to the limit of visibility, the 'decoupling point' of our visible cosmos (not to be confused with the earlier nucleosynthesis decoupling).

The most ancient light visible, such as from type
1a supernovae, began its journey in denser, 'hotter' space, then propagated into 'our' less-dense, 'cooler' space. Naturally it lost amplitude in its journey across the density gradient.. resulting in the SN1a appearing 'dimmer than they should be'.

"Ever-accelerating expansion" of the universe becomes a grand illusion. The expansion curve is shifted towards DEcelerating expansion and a Closed universe.

"Dark energy" was an ad hoc attempt to describe the reason for "ever-accelerating expansion".

Also, the need for inflation theory disappears as if by magic. "Inflation" was an ad
hoc attempt to resolve the horizon problem and the flatness paradox under the Void-Space Paradigm (VSP).

The VSP recognizes no PDT* gradient in the spatial medium, since its fundamental doctrine holds that there is 'no medium'.

When the spatial medium and the cosmological PDT gradient is recognized, it will also become apparent that there are also 'tiny' PDT gradients locally, in the gravity wells of stars. This will explain the anomalous accelerations of the Pioneer (and other) spacecraft.

* The 'Temp' of the spatial medium is not thermal temperature of matter. 'Temp' is a function of the pressure/density of the medium of space, hence the acronym PDT. Out in deep space farthest from any mass, where thermal temperature is lowest, the PDT value of space is highest.

*************************

General Relativity is currently 'flat' because it describes a universally-isotropic "Nothing" all the way back to the BB. Mathematically, this works very well _in the absence of any PDT gradients_. But as with the flat Earth, the model begins breaking down when a gradient enters the picture.
Recognizing PDT gradients will bring
GR out of its present 'flat' status. GR is currently 'flat' because it recognizes no such gradients. Factoring in PDT gradients is the natural extension / expansion of GR.

While GR recognizes a drop (or "dilation") of lightspeed with increasing depth in a gravity well, it cannot explain _why_ the drop occurs. It occurs due to diminishing PDT value (thinning) of space as it accelerates toward the gravitator.

The natural extension / expansion of Special Relativity also entails recognizing gradients, most prominently the cosmological PDT gradient. Just as SR holds c constant in all inertial frames, the expanded model holds c constant PDT frames as well.
Yet there *is* a precipitous drop in the speed of light from the instant of the BB. This drop is what Gordon Wolter called 'c-dilation'. Properly understood, 'c-dilation' is _as observed from the 'outside' referance frame_. Yet here 'inside', c is always constant 'there' locally, just as it is constant 'here', locally. The prime variable from 'there' to 'here' is the PDT value of space. From here 'inside', we observe *artifacts* such as the excessive dimming of the most distant 1a supernovae.

Notice that two distinct referance frames are involved. Recognizing 'c-dilation' across the PDT gradient does not violate the Lorentz invariance, or any other constant for that matter.

TIME DILATION (slowing of the clock rate) also runs concomitantly with 'c-dilation', and is likewise _as seen from the 'outside' frame_, while here 'inside', we observe their artifacts such as the excessive SN dimming.

And lastly, diminishing PDT value of space is concomitant with EXPANSION of space (whether expanding forth from the BB or 'stretching' like a "starburst in reverse" as it accelerates into a gravitating body).

The foregoing outlines the natural extension/expansion of both General and Special Relativity.
