DA, Hubbles constant is a 'fit', it works, but is not quite right. I keep getting told to stop posting so won't explain here as it is quite 'involved'.
Oh, please, quite 'involved' would make everyone ecstatic, probably send them into shock, as long it means you'll be providing some actual evidence to support your claims. Give us at least some little shred of something so that your speculations can be revealed as more than just science fiction tales.
I am still working on this so cannot be definitive...
Of course you can't, let alone provide actual reasons for doubting modern cosmology. There's nothing wrong with skepticism when it's based upon real-world evidence, but yours seems supported by no more than your personal preferences.
Good storytellers have the ability to take their ideas and paint realistic imaginary worlds. Good scientists have the ability to draw correspondences between their ideas and real-world data. So far you've given us nothing to indicate that you don't belong in the storyteller category.
I'm not trying to be harsh, but you've posted many unsupported claims while seemingly unaware that you're supposed to be telling us something true about the real world. If there's some connection between your speculative scenarios and the real world, then I suggest you talk about that.

Re: An attempt to all the above in one post.
Nothing you're saying is tied in to the real world. It's just a bunch of unsupported assertions. You're inability to tie anything you say to the real world is why you get asked to stop posting. After you've finished telling us how wonderful FTL maths are, how wonderful you are, and how posterity will one day prove you right, all while not mentioning a single fact, you're pretty much said everything you have to say, but you keep posting anyway.
If you want to get somewhere in discussion, use your theory to make a prediction that can be checked against the real world, or to explain a previously unexplained real-world phenomenon.
By the way, things like this:

Are the hallmark of the nutter. It puts you right up there with nutter street corner evangelists preaching upcoming doom and the end of the world. You'll be taken more seriously if you display a more scientific temperament.

I equate zero with non-existence...
And this is where you're going wrong. The answer to, "What is the length of an amoeba's nose?" is not zero. The correct answer is, "That's a meaningless question."
AbE: There are innumerable ways that equating of zero with non-existence can go wrong. For example, when the answer to the question, "How far is the data point from the X-axis?" is zero, this does not equate to non-existence.
