Hubble Constant: A Crisis in Cosmology?

Sound Issues resolved at 15:15

There's been a lot of upheaval in the field of cosmology wrt the Hubble Constant. Two independent measurements have yielded different results and they uncertainties do not overlap. This has lead to a rethinking of many aspects of how we know what we know about the universe, including the Hubble parameter.

In today's Astro Coffee Hangout, Tony and Dr. Brian Keating from the University of San Diego discuss the Hubble Constant, the problem and whether there this is actually a crisis in our understanding of the large scale structure of the universe and this important parameter.

Brian Keating and Nobel Prize winner Adam Riess discussed the crisis last summer in Symmetry magazine
