About this listen

Host Ezra Wade explores the Hubble tension — two equally rigorous teams measuring the universe's expansion rate and getting contradictory answers: 67 versus 73 kilometers per second per megaparsec. Both measurements show five-sigma confidence, suggesting either systematic error or revolutionary new physics. The episode examines cosmic microwave background data, distance ladder techniques, and theories like early dark energy that could resolve this cosmological crisis.
