--- NASA'a announcement and your results seem to add credence to my hypothesis that there was no big bang but, instead, a "big bubble" which sprang into being much like a bubble in a cavitating fluid.
All of the matter in our universe would have "outgassed" from the other side of the wall of the bubble as it expanded, and has been being attracted back ever since the beginning of the expansion.
Assuming the bubble is nonspherical and that what lies behind it is massive, the matter on our side of the wall being attracted to it will be attracted to it more strongly the closer it gets, so it will accelerate and its doppler signature will be increasingly red shifted from any viewpoint in the bubble. That would seem to explain the increase of red shift with distance and the apparent expansion of the bubble.
There may be a problem with this. _IF_ the attractive force directed toward whatever is on the other side of the wall diverges in 3 dimensions (like an electric field or Newtonian gravity), and _IF_ the stuff on the other side of the wall is "ignorably thick" (so we can assume we're stuck inside an absolutely enormous sphere), then the force seems very unlikely to be generally directed toward the wall.
If the cavity were spherical there would either be no force at all or it would point uniformly in one direction, depending on whether the mass around us is symmetric or not. (A spherical cavity centered in a sphere has no field in it; a spherical cavity off-center in a sphere has a perfectly uniform field in it.)
But you specified a non-spherical cavity, which makes it more complex, and I don't know what a general solution would look like. But to take one simple example, suppose the cavity is lozenge-shaped, like the intersection of two spheres. For simplicity assume it's centered inside a spherical mass. Then in the "middle" of the lozenge, where it's thickest, the force will be directed toward the walls. But out toward the thin edges, if I've pictured this correctly, the force would actually be _away_ from the walls. At some point in between the force would be tangential to the walls.
The point is that the force which results from such a situation seems likely to be either too uniform (such that there's a global "down" direction) or too nonuniform (such that things are flying apart in some places and flying together in others).
Next, assume that the bubble is not expanding at a rate faster than
that which would allow the matter on this side of the wall to collide
with the wall, and that's where the missing matter went; it's been
absorbed! Or, perhaps, the matter accelerated to the point where it
went superluminal and got added to the ZPE pool. In either case, it
would seem to be missing.
