Big problem currently in cosmology.

Is that a large delta?

It's not a large delta, but the measurements are both very precise.

So it's significantly separate, even though it's like 8% different.

But doesn't that mean physics was 8% different?

We don't know.

We have no current good understanding of this.

And what you see playing out is people trying out new ideas.

maybe the universe's expansion is not the way we thought or maybe there's a problem with this measurement and people are poking at every aspect of this coming up with well is there a new way we could measure this that doesn't make that assumption is there a new way we could model this that doesn't make that assumption in real time you're seeing science be open-minded be accommodating admit that we don't know everything and stumbling around looking for an explanation that will fit the data

somebody comes up with a model that fits the data makes a prediction and is verified there's nobel prizes there right and also the history of dark energy the whole discovery the fact that the universe is expanding and that expansion is accelerating that was a big surprise nobody expected that that overturned generations of dogma of narrative right

But the evidence was overwhelming.

And there were two separate groups that saw the same thing.

And the evidence was indisputable.

And so science pivots.

And that's what happens.

Science changes when you see the data.

And so, you know, I know there's frustration.

There's people out there who have an idea and it's not getting enough attention.

I have a screenplay I've written.

It's not getting enough attention.
