Unraveling the Universe: Groundbreaking Measurement Shakes Up Physics
Source: Unraveling the Universe: Groundbreaking Measurement Shakes Up Physics The new results support the validity of the first of two discrepant ways of measuring the Hubble constant, which is the expansion rate of spacetime/our universe. What that means is indicative of a burgeoning suspicion among physicists that they need to rethink gravity, dark energy and …
