Our understanding of the universe may turn out to be wrong: the statement of the Nobel laureate
In his latest revelation, Nobel laureate in physics Adam Riess admitted that our current understanding of the universe may be wrong. Discrepancies in the Hubble constant (a measure of the universe's expansion rate) have recently been discovered.
Different astronomical instruments give different values, which is why the so-called Hubble tension arises. Hopkins University physicist Adam Riess recently expressed high confidence that measurement errors are the cause of this controversy.
In 2023, with the use of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to confirm Hubble's findings, this task only deepened. And all because the telescope confirmed those complex numbers that were recorded earlier. Of course, the effects of star clusters and dust were considered on the measurements, but it is expected that with the enhanced capabilities…
