Abstract
General Relativity rewritten in conformal units identifies conformal intervals with the real observational distances. This identification gives a base to explain all epochs of the Universe evolution including Ia supernova luminosity long distance-redshift relation by the dominance of the Casimir vacuum energy of all physical fields. A set of arguments is discussed in favor that SNe Ia data in the conformal units can be an evidence of the conformal twistor structure of the space-time as a nonlinear realization of the affine group, like the nonlinear realization of chiral symmetry and phenomenological Lagrangian is evidence of the quark structure of hadrons.
