New Method Uses Gravitational Waves to Improve Measurements of the Universe's Expansion Astronomers have long known that the universe is expanding, but the exact rate of expansion, measured by the Hubble constant, remains a mystery. Multiple methods used to calculate this constant have produced conflicting results, leading to the so-called 'Hubble tension.' Researchers from the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago have developed a new technique that uses gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by black hole collisions—to measure the expansion rate. This approach refines earlier gravitational wave-based methods and promises more accurate measurements as detectors improve. Their findings show that gravitational waves could provide an independent way to measure the Hubble constant, potentially resolving the tension in current estimates. This research could offer insights into the universe's age and composition, and the team hopes to apply it to future data. The method relies on a new concept called the 'stochastic siren,' which uses the background gravitational wave hum from numerous black hole mergers, not detectable individually, to estimate cosmic expansion. This technique may help narrow the range of the Hubble constant and resolve the discrepancies in current cosmological models.

Is Earth Inside a Cosmic Void? Probably not in the dramatic sense. Evidence suggests our region of the universe may be slightly underdense on very large scales, but not an enormous empty hole, and any such underdensity would change local Hubble constant measurements by only a small amount. It is unlikely to fully solve the Hubble tension, the mismatch between early universe and local expansion rate estimates.

Are we living in a cosmic underdensity—or just seeing quirks in our measurements? Here’s how the Local Bubble, ‘Local Hole,’ and Hubble tension fit together. What’s your take? #CosmicVoid #HubbleConstant #HubbleTension #LocalBubble #LocalHole

Pixelized galaxy cluster strong lens modeling improves precision of Hubble constant measurement For the first time, an international research team led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that applying pixelized strong-lensing modeling on a galaxy cluster scale can significantly improve the precision of the inferred Hubble constant (H0)—a key parameter that describes the expansion rate of the universe.

As the universe expands, the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it recedes from us. It's measured by the #HubbleConstant, currently estimated at about 70 km/sec per megaparsec.

Meaning that at a certain distance—about 14 billion light-years—galaxies are receding from us at the speed of light.

A new paper (arXiv:2503.13525) suggests a slow cosmic rotation could resolve the #HubbleTension —bridging the gap between early (CMB) & late (supernovae) measurements of the Hubble constant. Inspired by Gödel, it tweaks ΛCDM without breaking physics.
