Here we list three options that General Relativity has proposed over the past decade to explain the non-linear cosmological redshift, observed by astronomers. 1) If the redshift law is linear for nearby galaxies, then turns into exponential for distant galaxies, and triangulation of galaxies reveals non-zero curvature of space, then our Universe is an expanding Friedmann world. 2) If the linear redshift law turns into parabolic for distant galaxies, then our Universe is a static de Sitter world with [lambda] > 0, in which the physical vacuum has a positive density, the observable curvature of space is positive, and the non-Newtonian gravitational forces acting there are repulsive forces increasing with distance (which cause photons to lose energy as they move). 3) If for distant galaxies the linear redshift law turns into exponential, but triangulation of galaxies does not reveal even the slightest curvature of space, then our Universe has a flat space, where the redshift in the spectra of distant objects is due only to the fact that the light-like sub- space (home of photons) of any metric space-time rotates with the speed of light, thereby creating a repulsive centrifugal force (which causes photons to lose energy as they move). In this case, any particular space metric creates only an addition to the exponential redshift law, which must take place even in a flat unperturbed space., Cosmological redshift was discovered by Vesto Slipher (Flagstaff Observatory, Arizona), who first registered it on September 17, 1912 in the spectrum of Andromeda Nebula M31 [1], then over subsequent years [...]
