A simple Hubble-like law in lieu of dark energy
  Within the frame of the $\Lambda$ cold dark matter paradigm, a dark energy component of unknown origin is expected to represent nearly 70% of the energy of the Universe. Herein, a non-standard form of the Hubble law is advocated, with the aim of providing safe grounds on which alternative cosmologies could be developed. Noteworthy, it yields an age-redshift relationship which is consistent with available data. Together with a straightforward analysis of gamma-ray burst counts, it further suggests that the observable Universe has been euclidean and static over the last 12 Gyr. Although a non-standard distance-duality relation is then required for interpreting luminosity distances, the magnitude-redshift relationship obtained is compatible with type Ia supernovae data.
