It is good to see that someone else has different ideas.
I am no exception. I have questioned the BB concept a while back and find it full of holes (questions with no answers).

The 1a supernovas are, to me, not accurate distance indicators. They are supposed to be the explosions of white dwarfs that have accumulated mass from a host star to the tune if 1.44 solar masses that are the cause of the eruptions.
First of all, no hydrogen emissions are seen in these explosions and white dwarfs have a huge variation in mass and emission temperatures. Therefore, any accumulated masses would also have to be variable to causing larger or lesser explosins. The dwarfs temperatures should also be a factor in precipitaing the explosion.
Therefore, I cannot give these 1a supernovas much credibility.
