That would be another... ie 2nd
And a 3rd .. Is that even if the redshifts are interpreted correctly .. ie far away objects are moving away from us at an accelerating rate .. even then .. DarkEnergy is still only one explanation for the cause of that acceleration .. there are other explanations that don't require any DarkEnergy at all.
etc.
Yes .. Astrophysicist don't just use redshifts alone ... but the other methods used , also have the same kinds of alternatives described above as well...
DarkEnergy is one popular explanation that has been offered .. Not my own personal choice .. but it is one of several offered possible explanations.
