"The lenses are most plausibly primordial black holes"
"This implies a population of compact lensing bodies sufficient to account for the dark matter"

Looking at the list of abstracts from other papers, from the same publication it seems those other alternatives are still being explored by many.



Also... Thanks Steven,
So in short?
Gravitational Redshift = The frame is accelerated
Cosmological Redshift = The frame is expanded
To be more precise Cosmological Redshift is based on the expansion of the observable Universe's frame of reference.

Accelerated frames of reference move in space-time. The Universe's frame of reference is the expansion of space-time itself.

Thanks for the interesting articles.

Steven
