Professor Prateek Agrawal discusses the ongoing crisis in cosmology regarding the measurement of the Hubble parameter by two separate probes in this Morning of Theoretical Physics talk from 9th November, 2024
Professor Prateek Agrawal discusses the Hubble tension.

Cosmology has matured into a precision science over the last couple of decades. We are now in a position to test cosmological
models to percent level precision, and cracks in our understanding of the universe have emerged. I will show how the
measurement of the Hubble parameter by two separate probes has become an ongoing crisis in cosmology, and discuss
some of the proposed solutions.
