The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch into orbit, aims to explore dark energy and dark matter, potentially addressing the unresolved Hubble Tension. This discrepancy highlights conflicting measurements of the universe's expansion rate. Some scientists believe Roman may confirm flaws in the standard cosmological model, leading to new physics.
Astronomers have discovered a galaxy, allegedly dating from just 300 million years after the big bang, with unexpectedly high oxygen levels. This is in contradiction to existing cosmological models with galaxy formation taking much longer. The findings refute the validity of the big bang story itself.
