The observed redshift of light from 'standard candles' in distant galaxies is consistent with the proposition that the universe is expanding. Recent observations have led to the conclusion that the rate of expansion of the universe is actually increasing.
Mainstream science accounts for this by maintaining that the fabric of space is expanding as determined by the cosmological constant in Einstein's formulation of gravity within his theory of General Relativity. It has invented something called 'dark energy' which is driving this expansion. It speculates that dark energy indeed has the properties required to produce this expansion, including the recent speeding up, and the post-Big Bang inflation which it requires in order to account for the uniformity of the universe. This results in an Occam score of 0300 relative to the Big Bang, and an absolute Occam score of 5000.
QO accounts for this by maintaining that space quanta produce new space quanta, according to processes that are uniform across the universe, as explained in the lemma 'expansion of the universe'. It has an Occam score of 0300 relative to QO, and an absolute Occam score of 3000. It is therefore to be preferred.
