g Then why do you constantly ignore the possibility that the
g redshift-distance relation is an exponential curve?

Do the data support such a notion?

Yes.

For a quick reference, see Perlmutter, Figure 3, Physics Today, April 2003,
"Supernovae, Dark Energy, and the Accelerating Universe".
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C...perlmutter.pdf

Just notice that instead of "accelerating universe" and "decelerating
universe" (which require a linear assumption), one should read: "exponential
redshift-distance relation" and "inverse exponential redshift-distance
relation," respectively. Pure Hubble constant (linear assumption) lies on
the straight line.
