A new study confirms the "Hubble tension": measurements of the local expansion of the universe do not line up with measurements of how the universe was expanding after the Big Bang. It's no simple experimental error. 11 different techniques agree. https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2611/?lang #space #science #science

  • What could we be getting wrong? Maybe we live in an atypical corner of the cosmos, giving us a misleading view. Maybe we're missing something fundamental about the early evolution of the universe. Either answer has huge implications. https://www.aanda.org/component/article?access=doi&doi=10.1051/0004-6361/202557993 #space #astronomy #science #nature

  • @coreyspowell Big Bang is illusion. CMB is just Tired Light that has been directed by gravity over time. What CMB you can 'see' most likely did not originate from the apparent vector. #Physics

    @coreyspowell I've always thought inflation was a cop-out. They found a glitch in their mathematical and causal model and added a new phase of expansion to account for it.

    @coreyspowell I go with lamba not being a fixed constant over time. If space is expanding and if dark energy obeys the principles of conservation of energy, then as the universe grows, lamba should grow weaker.
