Er, that's the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model or the concordance model of big bang cosmology.

This is correct, however....

This is incorrect in at least a couple of respects. I don't know where you got this "time warp" stuff. There is a very simple relationship between redshift and distance. The more redshift, the more distance. End of story. Well, almost.

Totally incorrect. In fact, as you continue with your essay, you introduce a number of other inaccuracies. I suggest going through that first LCDM link for a more accurate rendition.
