The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests.

This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, which scientists believe account for around 95% of the total energy and matter in the universe but remain shrouded in mystery.

The novel new approach is detailed in a paper published June 2 in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, by University of Geneva professor of theoretical physics Lucas Lombriser.

I also don't see, how this new model explains, that every galaxy but one moves away from us.

I think that they are saying that they aren't moving away from us, the redshift is caused by this mass change effect not movement or acceleration.
