John Hunter This is a preprint; it has not been peer reviewed by a journal. https://doi.org/ 10.21203/rs.3.rs-3182656/v1 This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License Status: Posted Version 1 posted You are reading this latest preprint version Abstract In the 25 years following the introduction of dark energy to cosmology there has been little progress in understanding this phenomenon. Recently the Hubble tension has also arisen. Therefore a radical solution is considered - to change the redshift scale-factor relation. A new relation explains why Concordance Cosmology, possibly using the wrong relation, needs an apparently low matter density and dark energy. There are solutions to the flatness problem, the coincidence problem and the Hubble tension.
