I find this work by David L. Wiltshire fascinating and elegant: it may be that dark energy does not actually exist and that measurements of the expansion rate of the universe are better fit by a model based on space-time warping at cosmological scales, consistent with the strong equivalence principle at the heart of Einstein's theory of General Relativity.
