'It could be profound': How astronomer Wendy Freedman is trying to fix the universe

University of Chicago astronomer Wendy Freedman tells us how she's searching for an answer to the Hubble tension — a discrepancy between measurements of our universe's expansion that could threaten the dominant model of how the universe has grown since the Big Bang.

Do we live in a giant void? It could solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion

One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology is the rate at which the universe is expanding. This can be predicted using the standard model of cosmology, also known as Lambda-cold dark matter (ΛCDM). This model is based on detailed observations of the light left over from the Big Bang –…
