"as the Universe expands, photons lose energy. But that doesn't mean energy isn't conserved; it means that the energy goes into the Universe's expansion itself, in the form of work."

That only works if radiation density and expansion are connected. General Relativity says that they aren't.

How does general relativity say that?

The term for the stress-energy tensor has the wrong impact on expansion for a simple relationship of any kind.

You can rescue it with pseudo-tensors, but then you force the existence of a preferred reference frame. Which undermines the principles of GR.

Some still argue for that. Others don't.
