This result, alongside other measurements of the early universe, aligned with predictions made by the standard model of cosmology. But it has been swiftly contradicted by Cepheid distance ladder ...

The Hubble tension grows: new data shows the Universe’s expansion defies current physics models, suggesting our understanding of cosmology may need a major overhaul. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New ...

Dark matter can't be too heavy or it might break our best model of the universe, new research suggests. We have an abundance of evidence that something fishy is happening in the universe.

Webb and Hubble telescopes affirm the Universe’s expansion rate “The story we’re telling is that, to some extent, our model of cosmology might be broken,” Scolnic remarked, reflecting on the ...

Too fast, even. A new measurement confirms what previous -- and highly debated -- results had shown: The Universe is expanding faster than predicted by theoretical models, and faster than can be ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you ...

It lines up closely with other local measurements, confirming that the nearby Universe seems to expand more quickly than the standard model would anticipate. “Over the last decade or so, there’s been ...

Even more mysteriously, the current expansion rate appears to be different than what modern cosmological models of the developing universe would predict, further confounding theoreticians.
