Abstract
Carmeli’s 5D brane cosmology has been applied to the expanding accelerating universe and it has been found that the distance redshift relation will fit the data of the high-z supernova teams without the need for dark matter. Also the vacuum energy contribution to gravity, ΩΛ indicates that the universe is asymptotically expanding towards a spatially flat state, where the total mass/energy density Ω+ΩΛ→1.
