Cosmology in Crisis? Confronting the Hubble Tension

Just saying - 36mins is NOT long enough , we need longer interviews with more detailed explanations as possible. This shouldn't suffer the a.d.h.d. that the rest of the internet does. Just sayin'

I always find solace in such discussions whenever I find politics and social media cesspool repugnant and disgusting. 😅

Wendy Freedman is brilliant! She explains concepts so clearly.

I like so much when a panelist talk so clearly about their expertise. Thanks Prof. Green for let her shine.

And this right here is why I LOVE science. I feel like most people don’t appreciate the stories behind discoveries and scientific progress. It’s really all about finding how we get it wrong. Where are our errors? How can we correct those errors or make them less impactful? It’s about building on generations of this type of thinking. Science is truly the greatest concept we’ve come up with.

A very concise and digestible explanation of the history of the Hubble tension. Lets see where the future will lead us!

Highly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Fabulous! Wendy Freedman has such knowledge of the subject. She is following in Vesto Slipher's and Edwin Hubble's footsteps and making many of her own. Where will the Hubble Tension and DESI and Dark Matter and Dark Energy lead Cosmology? As usual Dr. Brian Greene brings the best to the big screen.

This was a very clear and concise introduction to the subject of determining the Hubble constant, concentrating on the fundamental calibration of the distance scale using stars in nearby galaxies (the work Wendy Freedman and Barry Madore have done, beginning in Bob McLaren's infrared lab at the University of Toronto in the early 1980's).

Having watched a whole ton of these great WSF videos, I cannot overstate the impact Brian Greene has had on these interviews. He's got the whole nine yards, the credentials, quick wit and great sense of humor. So much appreciated.
