Cosmology is in deep crisis (some say it is dead) so it is time for
cosmologists to try various salvation approaches, including the
following one. All interpretations of the redshift are based on the
assumption that in the formula:

(frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

the frequency and the wavelength vary while the speed of light is
constant because the hymn "Divine Einstein" is perfect and "we all
believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" etc. However Divine
Albert allegedly thought in terms of hypotheses and there is no reason
why cosmologists should not do so from time to time. That is, those of
them who know well the established interpretations of, say,
accelerating expansion observations, suddenly change direction and
reinterpret everything based on the assumtion that frequency and speed
of light vary while the wavelength is constant. No need to stop
singing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all believe in relativity,
relativity, relativity" - after all, Divine Albert himself, in one of
his metamorphoses, pleeded for variable speed of light:

"So, faced with this evidence most readers must be wondering why we
learn about the importance of the constancy of speed of light. Did
Einstein miss this? Sometimes I find out that what's written in our
textbooks is just a biased version taken from the original work, so
after searching within the original text of the theory of GR by
Einstein, I found this quote:"In the second place our result shows
that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the
constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of
the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity
and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any
unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place
when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position. Now we
might think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of
relativity and with it the whole theory of
relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the
case. We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity
cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity ; its results hold only
so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational
fields on the phenomena (e.g. of light)." - Albert Einstein
(1879-1955) - The General Theory of Relativity: Chapter 22 - A Few
Inferences from the General Principle of Relativity-. Today we find
that since the Special Theory of Relativity unfortunately became part
of the so called mainstream science, it is considered a sacrilege to
even suggest that the speed of light be anything other than a
constant. This is somewhat surprising since even Einstein himself
suggested in a paper "On the Influence of Gravitation on the
Propagation of Light," Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911, that the speed of
light might vary with the gravitational potential. Indeed, the
variation of the speed of light in a vacuum or space is explicitly
shown in Einstein's calculation for the angle at which light should
bend upon the influence of gravity. One can find his calculation in
his paper. The result is c'=c(1+V/c^2) where V is the gravitational
potential relative to the point where the measurement is taken. 1+V/
c^2 is also known as the gravitational redshift factor."
