Do you mean that the total matter density of the universe is (2.6+/-7.5%)x10^{-27}kg/m^3, and so that consequently the probability of the total matter density being 6.0x10^{-27}kg/m^3 (and consequently the universe not expanding) is much less than 1ppM and even 1ppB?
Basically, it is a conclusive evidence that the universe is expanding and the energy isn't conserved since to produce H_o=70 km/s/Mpc in non expanding universe with conservation of energy the universe would have to have density 6x10^{-27}kg/m^3 and evidently it has much less. And since a negative result is also a result I just have to change the title of my PhD work to "The conclusive proof of non conservation of energy in the universe based on astrophysical data".
