Sometimes I feel like I'm living in Galilean revolution era, with the science being done these days, and this fills me with joy. Thank you Anton for bringing cutting edge science to.the masses in digestible portions. You are a testament to the human spirit.

Around 5-10 years ago in cosmology I remember being amazed as my cosmology professor John K. Webb at UNSW talked about his research that was showing that the fine structure constant (combination of other constants) didnt seem to be constant over large space time distances. It wasn't high enough accuracy at the time to be considered a ground breaking discovery but it was hinting at it.

I've watched several YouTube videos about analyses of the latest DESI data and the different values for lambda computed use BAO. In my opinion your explanation is the best and easiest to understand. Thanks.
