The Hubble Tension Mystery

Join us on a cosmic journey as we delve into one of the greatest mysteries of astrophysics – the Hubble tension. Did you know that the universe is expanding faster and faster, yet astronomers are getting conflicting measurements of its acceleration? In this video, we explore the enigma surrounding the discrepancy in these measurements and the implications it holds for our understanding of the cosmos. From basic theories to outlandish concepts, we confront the cosmic puzzle head-on, aiming to shed light on the fundamental workings of the universe. Don't miss out on this intriguing exploration into the depths of space and time!

Light gets tired?
So that's where dark matter comes from!
Rest in peace little photon.

If the universe is expanding, so is the ruler they use to make this measurement.

[bunnykiller]

squeeze a balloon, notice how some areas streach easier than others and expand quicker than other areas

[sharonrose]

What if the universe is like a river with a hugh waterfall at the end, the universes waterfall is a hugh black hole

[BoneHeadPlaysGames]

It's going around a hyper sphere, its actually also slowing down

[gregsettle]

At least they came up with a cool name for it.

[OwenSchuler-vcnl]

Isn't that possible why earlier in history there were depictions of out of this world type beings and now days there isn't anything proven? If everything is going away from us at near light speeds makes since it was easier thousands of years ago right? Idk I'm just asking out of curiosity

[Verklunkenzwiebel]

Ok, so large numbers. Let's take a googol squared. Then divide it by the same number, that returns a 1 as answer. So at once, this huge number disappears. Does that cause a bang in the number space?

Its almost as if longer wavelength light spends more time in the expanding universe over the same distance. God forbid someone use some common sense and say light isn't a constant and relativity is wrong which perfectly explains the hubble tension 😒

[alison]

Gotta be gravity. I think the so-called particle of gravity is too weak to think there's a lot about our universe we may never know. Dark matter/dark energy, and the gravity particle are my favorite mysteries.

Other universes surrounding ours pulling on us. Picture us as the eight ball in a eight ball rack.

With the help of AI, I have solved the Hubble tension. There really isn't tension- it's a measurement problem.

The answer, supplied by AI, is 70.09 km/s/Mpc

I believe that scientists formulate an educated theory based upon factual data they are privy to. We can't even observe dark matter or dark energy, but I hear those two terms tossed around like they are fact. It's my guess that there's something scientists are missing. It's just a matter of time before they stumble across more answers. Another genius will come along with some staggering revelations. I'm over here barely able to successfully stumble my way through life while other people are building atom smashers. 😂🥂

“Please don’t say UFO’s” … why the heck not? It’s science and it’s unexplained.

[angelonemo]

The more you know, the less you know.

[sirkllr]

How can they measure a size of a planet when it's so far away and how can they tell what type of planet it is? When the distance with any sort of miscalculation could throw off their measurements

[travisschroeder]

Or, we are completely wrong about everything.

[snacky-cphm]

What if the universe is expanding in a enclosed space and then eventually gets too big and pops like a balloon and restarts the whole big bang again.

[wapper]

Whoa! Almost as if you can’t accurately measure the vast distances of space!

[LSOL-ig]

I think it's dark matter man, that shit's like 80somn% of our universe
