WEBB Ping!.......................
Of course it is. The further away from each other the galaxies get the less gravity their is to hold them back, so they take off like a pebble from a slingshot................
“our understanding of the universe may be incomplete”
ya think? lol
Excellent news...
Now we just have to find some physicists who can rely strictly on their intellect/cognitive ability to find new physics that will solve the discrepancy...
That is if they can put away their computers & beauty BS, and think...

Maybe the 10 principles that were built on lies will be fixed . #galapogosh
The more we learn, the less we know.
Webb Hubble?
How Clintonian.
All of that goes to:
Everything we think we know is wrong.
Question for atheists: how can the universe have an expandable boundary?
“attributed that expansion to a mysterious “dark energy” permeating large parts of the cosmos.”
Modern science loves plugging the equations with free miracles.
Lol.
“However, unlike cosmological models that predicted this expansion should be around 67-68 kilometers per second per megaparsec (Mpc), the readings from Hubble showed a mean expansion of around 73 km/s/Mpc. Several attempts have been made to shrink this discrepancy enough that it could be blamed on instrument errors or other faults in the model. Those efforts have failed, leading to the puzzle called the Hubble Tension. “
Hubble should take two aspirin and then call me.
Maybe instead of the EXPANSION being faster than predicted, it is that TIME flows at a different rate in various parts of the Universe.
We have defined ‘time’ and limited it, but the Universe may be under no such limitations.
Even the basis of our time travel theories stipulate that the faster an object goes, the more the time differential gap between it and some other object/place.
For instance, you travel faster than Speed of light from Andromeda to Earth. Time elapsed for you is 1 year and for those on Earth it has been 200 years (numbers not meant to be accurate, only for illustration). If it was 200 years for Earthlings, it was 200 years for the planet. First, it wouldn’t be in the location expected from a 1 year trip. Second, does that mean that it’s expected ‘expansion’ movement should be calculated based on 200 years or 1 year.
Would you then be out of sync with all objects in the Universe ? Would that difference be different for each object based on the object’s distance from your origin and destination point ?
This article (and THANKS for posting it) resembles Einstein’s remark that
‘The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know.’
Here’s a fascinating thought.
If the Universe collapsed down to the size of our local cluster of galaxies, we wouldn’t even know about it for millions of years.
