Event Information:
The most precise of the direct measurements of the current rate of cosmic expansion (the Hubble constant) is inconsistent with the even more precise, but indirect, model-dependent inferences. In particular the Riess et al. (2020) measurement is more than four standard deviations higher than the inference based on the standard cosmological model, with its free parameters constrained by Planck satellite observations of the cosmic microwave background.
