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.
