For the past decade, scientists have been trying to get to the bottom of what seemed like a major inconsistency in the ...

The rate at which the universe is expanding is expressed as a value called the Hubble Constant ... the problem may be with the theory. “Failing to find flaws in the measurements,” he says ...

And that expansion rate is even faster than the leading theory predicts it should be, leaving cosmologists like me puzzled and looking for new explanations. Related: 'Hubble trouble' could deepen ...

The new data confirms Hubble Space Telescope measurements of distances between nearby stars and galaxies, offering a crucial cross-check to address the mismatch in measurements of the universe's ...

Known as the Hubble tension, the discrepancy remains unexplained even by the best cosmology models. "The discrepancy between the observed expansion rate of the universe and the predictions of the ...

Different parts of the universe could have different rates of expansion, potentially explaining the perpelexing "Hubble tension ... solutions to Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, called general ...

A new theory of quantum gravity ... physicists have found that different types of measurements of the expansion rate — called the Hubble parameter — produce puzzling inconsistencies.

Scientists have not disproved the Big Bang Theory, but they have discovered disagreements in the rate of expansion — the Hubble Constant — from different research teams' measurements.

Using an alternative theory of gravity, the discrepancy in the measured values can be easily explained -- the Hubble tension disappears. The universe is expanding. How fast it does so is described ...

The rate of the expansion of the universe is known as the Hubble constant ... Teleparallel gravity is an alternative theory to general relativity, also devised by Einstein. This "other theory ...
