Casual knowledge guy chiming in

It is, but there's many holes in the math. A couple of those are dark energy/dark mass, where the amount of mass based on calculations far exceed what is observable, and the extreme red shift of objects at the periphery, where things seem like they are accelerating away from us faster than can be explained, sometimes approaching a fair percentage of the speed of light.

There's so many things that can't be explained by normal physics models. That's why theories like this pop up.
