Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models do not require zero active mass
read the original abstract
The $R_h = ct$ cosmological model has received considerable attention in recent years owing to claims that it is favoured over the standard $\Lambda$ cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model by most observational data. A key feature of the $R_h = ct$ model is that the zero active mass condition $\rho + 3p = 0$ holds at all epochs. Most recently, Melia has claimed that this condition is a requirement of the symmetries of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime. We demonstrate that this claim is false and results from a flaw in the logic of Melia's argument.

An intrinsic kinematic relation $\boldsymbol{c=\frac{c_{0}}{H_{0}}\,\dot{a}}\,$ inferred from Type Ia supernovae
The Pantheon supernova fit in a Dolgov–Barrow varying-speed-of-light cosmology favors the locus (1+ζ)μ=1, interpreted as c∝da/dt.
