In a quick summary then, how does the ISU/EEP idea account for five key cosmological observations?

1) Olbers' paradox: what do sight-lines end on?

2) Hubble relationship, including that traced by high-z 1a SNe: expansion of spacetime (just like the LCDM models?)

3) the CMB: thermalisation of early stars (for the BB spectrum); the angular power spectrum is not explained

4) primordial abundance of light nuclides: should be soley H; existence of primordial D, 3He and 4He is not explained

5) large-scale structure: same as LCDM models (gravity dominated hierarchical structure formation), except that there is no CDM (so the details of the large-scale structure are not explained).

Oh, and there are no numbers, so no quantitative matching is possible.

What did I get wrong?
