The expanding Universe — do ongoing tensions leave room for new physics?

A century ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble made groundbreaking observations showing that galaxies existed beyond the Milky Way — and they’re receding from Earth.

But the most precise measurements of how fast galaxies are moving still don’t agree.
