Cosmology in Crisis?

Authors: Ken Gonder

The recent discrepancy in the measurements of the Hubble Constant (the universe's rate of expansion) between the indirect, early method (+/- 67km/s/megaparsec) and the direct, late method (+/- 72km/s/megaparsec) has been characterized as a growing crisis for cosmology. To some, a transitory disagreement of less than 10% may not seem like that much of a concern. What would cause a real crisis though is if it were suddenly realized, factually established, and conclusively confirmed that universal expansion itself is conceptually impossible for a finite, uniform cosmos. Despite all of the obvious invalidating incongruities, universal expansion's fundamental viability is rarely questioned, if at all.
