Cosmic Tension! 🚀 This week on The INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast: Nobel Laureate Adam Riess — Tension In The Cosmos!”

🔍 Join us as renowned astrophysicist Adam Riess dives into the mysteries of our expanding universe and the challenges faced in measuring its vastness.

🌌 Here are 3 key takeaways from our insightful conversation:

1️⃣ Cosmic Distance Ladder: Riess explains how astronomers use objects like Type 1a supernovae and Cepheid variables as “standard candles” to measure distances to galaxies accurately. This method forms the basis of the cosmic distance ladder, allowing us to probe the expansion rate of the universe.

2️⃣ The Hubble Tension: Riess touches upon the intriguing discrepancy, known as the “Hubble tension,” between different measurements of the universe’s expansion rate. We explore the latest findings and ongoing investigations to unravel the underlying causes of this tension.

3️⃣ Lensing and Universe’s Expansion: Discover how the phenomenon of gravitational lensing offers unique insights into understanding the distribution of matter in the universe and the rate at which it expands. Riess shares his expertise in studying lensing systems and their impact on our comprehension of cosmic expansion.

🔬 Don’t miss this captivating episode as Adam Riess takes us on a journey through the intricacies of cosmic measurements, unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos one discovery at a time.
