In a discontinuous universe there is an alternate explanation for the red shift. Another anomoly in general relativity concerns the expansion of the spacetime continuum. Matter is presumed to be embedded in spacetime but if atoms are expanding with it then how is an expansion observable? Solar systems and galaxies must presumably be expanding with it also. The spacetime expansion must be relative to something. So where is the universal yardstick? Matter is assumed to be something distinct from spacetime.
