Polarization Signals from Universe’s First Light Emphasize Hubble Tension
The study, based on high-precision measurements of the CMB and its polarized light, adds further support to the veracity of the standard cosmological model.
The research sheds new light on an outstanding puzzle known as “the Hubble tension,” which concerns discrepancies in the value of the Hubble constant — the rate of the universe’s expansion. The team used their polarization data, combined with the standard cosmological model, to make a new prediction for the rate of expansion. Their prediction is consistent with the prediction made using the CMB intensity maps measured by the Planck satellite, a European Space Agency mission to study the CMB.
