Cosmic Collisions Unveil Secrets of Element Creation in Cosmology Crisis

TL;DR Summary
Astrophysicists propose observing colliding neutron stars, known as kilonovae, as a new method to address inconsistencies in measuring the Universe's expansion rate, also known as the Hubble Constant. By studying the symmetry and luminosity of kilonovae, astronomers can calculate the distance to galaxies containing them, providing a novel and independent method for measuring cosmic expansion. This approach aims to resolve the ongoing "Hubble Tension" and obtain consistent measurements of the Hubble Constant. Further research and observations are needed to establish the reliability of this method.
