Abstract

Supernova Ia redshifts are fitted with a simple 5D5D model: the galaxies are assumed to be enclosed in a giant S3S^3-spherical shell of significant thickness, which expands (ultra)relativisticaly in Minkowski (1+4)DD-space. This model, as compared with the kinematic (1+3)DD Milne cosmological model (which was reinvented by Prof Farley), goes in line with the Copernican principle: any galaxy observes the same isotropic distribution of distant galaxies and supernovae, as well as the same Hubble plot of SN Ia distance modulus μ\mu vs redshift zz. A good fit is obtained (no free parameters); it coincides with the Milne model (empty model) at low zz, while shows some more luminosity at high zz, leading to 1% decrease in the true distance modulus (and 50% increase in luminosity) at z2z\sim2. The model proposed can be also interpreted as a sort of FLRW-model with the scale factor a(t)=t/t0a(t)=t/t_0; this could hardly be a solution of general relativity (without inventing some super-dark energy with w=1/3w=-1/3, a sort of dark curvature); 5DD GR is also unsuitable -- it has no longitudinal polarization. However, there still exists the other theory (with D=5D=5 and no singularities in solutions), the other game in the town, which seems to be able to do the job.
