Webb Telescope Challenges Our Understanding of the Universe

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed previous measurements of the universe's expansion rate, known as the Hubble constant, but discrepancies remain between local and early universe observations, a phenomenon called the "Hubble Tension." This ongoing mystery suggests potential gaps in our understanding of cosmic forces like dark energy and dark matter, prompting scientists to explore new theories and methods, such as gravitational lensing, to resolve the tension. The quest continues to uncover the universe's secrets, with future missions offering hope for new insights.
