I went and read the research.

I'm not an expert and as such can't really analyze it fully. But what I took away is that it aimed to test a part of new theory by with a very narrow measurement, using early-universe density oscillations. They left dark matter out of the equation with the new model, and it was a smashing success if you're willing to overlook that it requires the universe to be a completely different age than it is.. In short, this is shenanigans.

edit: I'm fine being wrong if I am, I'd love to know more from informed readers. That's just what I took away https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad1bc6#apjad1bc6s3

edit2: It also presumes the "tired light theory" is true. Tired light is the flat earth of astrophysics/cosmology. Yeah, there are contrarian knuckleheads in every discipline.

Does it really say it? Can you please quote the piece?
