Resolving the Hubble Tension: Converging Measurements of the Universe’s Expansion Rate
Resolving the Hubble Tension: Converging Measurements of the Universe’s Expansion Rate The Hubble constant, a fundamental parameter in cosmology representing the universe’s expansion rate, has been a source of significant tension within the scientific community for years. Two primary methods of measuring this constant have yielded persistently discrepant results, creating a major challenge to our understanding of the cosmos. One method relies on observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the afterglow of the Big Bang. Analysis of the CMB’s…
