In some earlier discussions with Stephen King we talked about
the possibility to interpret the future lightcone of Minkowksi space,
M^4_+ shortly [spacetime is 4-surface in 8-dimensional M^4_+xCP_2
in TGD framework] as
i) expanding cosmology with vanishing mass density
or
ii) locally as empty Minkowski space, no sign of cosmic expansion!
Thus spacetime surface X^4 imbedded as surface for which CP2 coordinates
are just constant, could be interpreted in two manners and one might argue
that cosmic expansion is illusory.
Situation however changes when X^4 is curved in such a manner that it
represents genuine expanding cosmology. Physically this means that
*matter flows radially from the dip of the lightcone* and the velocity of
particle at point (t,r) is r/t<=c and this gives rise to redshift also at
the limit when mass density vanishes. Therefore I regard cosmic
expansion as real.

In the framework of manysheeted spacetime each spacetime sheet
expands with its own rate, which means several Hubble constants.
To affect the expansion rate one should be able to do engineering
feats. To decelerate or accelerate the radial motion (with respect
to the dip of the lightcone) of entire
galaxies and galaxy groups! Situation might change if expansion is not
real but I find it difficult to see how this might be the case.
