Maybe people mix up time and distance wrong? The explanation I always hear is that objects far away go faster so they must speed up. But you can also see the distance as back in time, so in that case, the logic will be. Objects we see 10bil years back in time appear to go faster than objects only tousands year back in time, so their speed was faster short after tbb and has now slowed down. How do we know the ratio of those different ways to think about the problem? It must be tricky to calculate speed on objects that may not still exist but left a snapshot billions year ago.

@DrBecky group think is a powerful tool. Because I know that my main area reply will be hidden, I thought I’d try here to see if you will tell me where I’m wrong. Actually, American astronomer, Halton Arp solved the crisis in cosmology decades ago when he proved, and you and your peers refused to even consider that the universe is not expanding. Your models, apart from another “Higgs moment,” meaning, we need a win moment, can never achieve a common value because there is no expansion to calculate. Simply stated, the universe is NOT expanding via the separation of objects within it, and it is not homogeneous, a central pillar of this tale. We may never know, however, if it is growing, which is entirely different because we cannot observe the entire universe. Look up the unmodified version of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and you will clearly see what is actually there, an image of the central glow of the Milky Way Galaxy and background stars. But that central glow, the signature of our position in our galaxy, underwent the science version of Photoshopped, removing the pesky signature glow, replacing it with a homogeneous background. Speaking of homogeneous, we are told that the cosmic microwave background radiation depicts the homogeneous glow of the Big Bang, yet we know that space is filled with many giant voids. For instance, what about the Boötes Void, also called the Great Nothing? It is a massive near-empty area of space, meaning containing very few galaxies, that covers an area so massive that it would take around 330 million light-years to cross. This is the opposite of homogeneous, but astrophysicists simply pretend that it, and many others like it, massive areas of near nothing, do not exist. We are living in an epoch of the self-imposed scientific dark ages. Speak their theories out-loud and see how they sound. Here are a few of my favorites: There are universes in multiple dimensions. Gravity is the weakest of all ''accepted'' forces, yet so powerful that it can take over a single area in space that they call a black hole, attract anything, including light inside it, and compress it to an infinite point. Stars and planets form from gravity, but no one has bothered to ask, ''What was the source of the gravity that caused the first particles of matter to clump together, and why does it no longer work in our solar systems asteroid belts where no new clumping is happening?'' Particles passing through earth indicates that time may travel backwards in other dimensions. Einstein's theories don't describe gravity at the galactic scale, so they blame the theory's failure on dark energy and dark matter because, well, they gave themselves a dark energy and dark matter mathematical fudge-factor that makes the math work again. The entire universe sprang from a primordial point of nothing, called a singularity. And one of my favorite WTFs, the universe is expanding; everything is moving away from everything else, it is not spreading from a single point, yet the closest galaxy to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, is speeding toward our Milky Way Galaxy at a speed of 290,800 MPH. I know, it’s the raisins in bun analogy, everything is expanding at once, even if they are getting closer together. But, how far does that go? Then there’s the Great attractor. Everything in the region of the Norma Cluster, including our Milky way are moving toward it. But wait, there’s more. Astrophysicists then estimated that the mass of the Great Attractor isn’t large enough to attract the massive bodies around it, and then they find that a larger region of galaxies, and the Great Attractor are all moving toward an area of space that is even larger, known as the Shapley Super cluster. So much for everything moving away from everything else, but just ignore those pesky facts. You can't make this stuff up. From a historical perspective, however, there are plenty of parallels. They burned Giordano Bruno alive at the stake for refusing to retract his absurd notion that the earth was NOT the center of the universe. Bruno's scientific statements were absurd because it was settled science that the earth indeed was the center of the universe. Fast-forward 424 years, and we are back where we started. In order to calculate the size of the observable universe, astrophysicists determine how far light could have traveled in 13.8 billion years. They then double that number because they say that light travels in all directions at once. That means that, from our vantage point in the observable universe, the universe is a minimum of 27.6 billion light years across, or double the 13.8 billion years with Earth at the center of the calculation (I won’t mention their expansion add-on). Giordano Bruno was burned alive at the stake to change the special notion that earth is the center of the universe, yet hundreds of years later, his fellow Cosmologist and astrophysicists put Earth back at the center of the universe, AGAIN, and gave the universe a new creation story, called the Big Bang. You cannot make this stuff up. The crisis in cosmology is absolute because the very foundation of cosmology is based on singularities, which cannot be calculated or measured, and thus exists only in the minds of those who “believe” that they exist.

At this point, I feel like JWST is the driver of a family sedan and the scientific community is a pile of kids in the back asking "Are we there yet?!?" =)

Yes, but seeing as the universe is still intact and not rended, we can safely conclude that no on has written a research paper titled with that question in mind.

I agree. For example, I've been aware of the distance ladder for decades, and have seen a number of YT videos on it, but usually get a little bit lost in the amount of technical detail. In this case, the whole ladder is very nicely laid out, so I finally think I actually get it. I'm still pretty fuzzy on how the CMB prediction is reached, but that might just be beyond my reach without serious study.

This was actually never calculated and, in point of fact, CANNOT be calculated using the standard model. This is a massive bit of confusion by the media and by KZread science influencers who don't know what they are talking about. If what Dr. Becky said were true it would have ruled out the standard model of particle physics, the most successful and well proven theory that has never disagreed with any experiment ever. Why didn't that happen? Because this is not true. It's not a real prediction, although people who have tried to end this incorrect meme have done calculations showing exactly what that real value would be if someone had made it. And spoiler alert, it is closer to 10 orders of magnitude off, not 120, but, that is moot, because this is not a theory of gravity.

JWST is expanding our knowledge and already proving itself, much like Hubble did when it finally got it's spectacles. Hubble showed the way, JWST is taking the ball and running with it. It's a phenomenal bit of engineering and it will inspire another generation to design better instruments to answer the questions JWST now has us asking. You will have to come back to this after peer review, doesn't matter if this is right or wrong, just take another look in a years time.

The 'Cosmic Microwave Background' is based on the flawed argument stating it arose due to the hot gas and plasma existing after the Big Bang. Gas/Plasma do not make a Black Body or Black Body radiation. Only condensed matter can transmit a continuous spectrum of radiation. Gas/Plasma will always give only those wavelengths possible by a limited set of energy levels. The same goes for the Sun which is condensed matter -- not plasma . The so-called 'near perfect' black body spectrum in the 'CMB' comes from some other source, likely water on the Earth. See Sky Scholar -- Pierre Marie Robateille or Unzicker's Real Physics on KZread. The expansion of space based upon a Doppler Red Shift is also questionable as there are other means by which light is red shifted, namely by passing through plasma.

@vailpcs4040, I agree! My favorite 3 Epistemological questions: 1. What do we know? 2. How did we come to know? 3. Do we "really" know what we "think" we know? Number 3 opens the door to discovery... The root-cause of all this "Crisis in Cosmology", "Dark Matter", & "Dark Energy" enigmas is that we failed to question the fundamental precepts and basic assumptions of "previous generations" of scientists! The FLRW-metric only gave scientists 3 options: 1. Flat, 2. FIXED positive curvature (spherical), 3. FIXED negative curvature (hyperbolic) -- they left out the most important one -- continually decreasing positive curvature. In short, the Hubble's Constant is NOT constant and its units [km/s/Megaparsec] which simplify to [1/second]. Guys & gals, is Hubble's parameter is simply the reciprocal of the age of the universe. Seek "Cosmic Onion Model" and "John Wsol" and you shall find these answers and a treasure trove of scientific breakthroughs!

When two teams produce opposite results from the same data, that suggests that there are so many assumptions and subjective choices in the analyses as to call into question whether their conclusions have any real meaning at all.

That seems to be the exact point of the “blind” analysis method, to remove any possibility of your methodology being influenced by what you (consciously or unconsciously) want the answer to be. However per the caveats Dr. Becky mentioned, the analysis itself involves so many steps that it needs to be subjected to rigorous peer review to make absolutely certain that it doesn’t introduce other unintentional biases.

Dr. Becky, your intro disclaimer was well done. I think this video helps keep the background of the debate fresh in our minds. I certainly appreciated the recap so well done. This makes me even more excited for the studies’ conclusions and reviews. I’d certainly like to know where the heck we are in relation to everything else in the observable universe!

This is why I love science! I’m excited at the possibility they have solved the crisis in cosmology. But I’m also excited to see if it doesn’t and where that may lead.

Adding disclaimer at the beginning: This is not a “statement of what this is” - this is a question to Becky asking if I understand correctly. To be clear, it’s not that this magically causes the two disparate data sets to suddenly agree with each other - the “CMB” data and the previous “distance” data still disagree with each other, with error bars that don’t even come close to overlapping. JWST is just a “new distance data” point that happens to have overlap with the “CMB” data? Is the JWST data confirmed more “accurate” than previous “distance” data? Because previous data certainly pointed to being very accurate, and very accurately *DISAGREEING* with the “CMB” data? This is just JWST fixing the the previous distance data that we thought was accurate, right?

I agree with your sentiment about avoiding covering things that aren't at least preprint, as well as your reasoning for covering this particular finding. My two cents is that coverage of non-written reporting is only an issue if that becomes a majority of the output because, at that point, it starts to feel like the pop-sci press releases where a 1-sigma result is "earth shattering and rewrites everything we know about the universe." While it's a sign of integrity that you avoid covering things that may have potentially spurious claims (i.e., where one can't really sink their teeth into the claims, math, and supporting citations), I hope it didn't cause too much angst. From what I've seen, you're passionate, knowledgeable, and not gullible, so I see no reason to question your instincts on what is worthwhile to cover.

I have a metaphor that I use to help me understand the cosmic distance ladder: a multi-stage analog amplifier. This was an exercise / lab I had to do in my analog electronics class, as an electrical engineering student (undergrad). It's not a super-complicated beast - each stage is a transistor, which is connected to ground and to high through a resistor for each, with input to the "base" terminal, and output from the "collector" or the "emitter" terminal, chained onto the next stage (sorry about the jargon). _Anyway,_ the point is that it's _much_ more sensitive to the parameters you choose in the earlier stages than in the later stages. The early stages of your amplifier can make or break the entire circuit.

I just realized, Michelson experiment was looking for light traveling through a medium, so if there was no medium - ether - in the ‘vacuum’, the light wouldn’t slow. The null result meant there was no ether in the vacuum. Actually, the first split light experiment had interference pattern, and was stationary, so Michelson moving frame should also produce interference, if no effect of earth motion -weather on ether! In fact Michelson was measuring frequency, not wavelength. That fool wrongstein thought this was about a vacuum, not a medium like water or a prism. In this case, once light leaves the influence of moving object away from earth direction, or gravity slowing it down, it returns to c, the speed of light, and no red shift! Neither does passing through a lens or polarized change its direction. Tired light will red shift
