The Universe Is Expanding Even Faster Than We Thought – New Study Sparks Cosmic ‘Crisis’

A Surprise in the Stars: New Study Measures Faster Expansion Recent observations have delivered a startling message: the universe appears to be expanding even faster than our standard cosmological model predicts phys.org.
