Scientists have been puzzled by a mismatch in the rate of expansion of the universe, with different measurements not matching up.
New data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests that the Standard Model of the universe may not be missing anything significant, according to scientists at the University of Chicago.
Prof. Wendy Freedman stated that the Hubble Constant, which indicates the universe's expansion rate, may not be the issue as previously thought.
Using more precise measurement techniques, including data from the Webb Telescope, Freedman and her team were able to reconcile the conflicting measurements of the Hubble Constant, offering hope for resolving this long-standing mystery.
