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 Obviously the answer is to send a probe to another galaxy. Let's get right on that. 😁

    @coreyspowell I swear this was already answered― if you look up papers that describe the apparent discrepancy. I recall looking at something which I think is a similar, if not, the same problem in 2023. Unless since then, the hypothesis was chucked. I think the issues essentially came down to calculations of local distance-time measurements and the distances created by expanding universe model in general relativity for distant observations.

    @coreyspowell I studied applied mathematics and earned a doctorate with "summa cum laude.” An algorithm I developed decades ago is still used today for numerical simulations in ultrarelativistic hydrodynamics. Yet to this day, I still don’t understand why the mathematical tools developed on Earth can describe the infinite vastness of the cosmos with such precision. I am rather surprised that theories based on our earthly mathematics extend so far. .
