As was mentioned, the supernova data themselves are not in any way

I have provided in my earlier papers considerable evidence that most
observations are consistent with a static universe.

Another question: Why do you think the universe is static? Presumably
you thought so before you wrote this paper.

I agree I have always had a dislike of the standard expansion model.
Mainly about inflation.

[Mod. note: inflation is not part of the standard expansion model.
