The controversy over how fast the Universe is expanding
It’s been going on ever since we first discovered the expansion, and there’s no resolution in sight.

Hubble discovered what Einstein’s couldn’t imagine, and after that, the race was on to learn exactly what those observations meant for our cosmic origins. After decades of controversies, we now have a better picture of our Universe than ever before, yet questions remain. What will be the ultimate answer?
