Knowing the Hubble Tension: A Historical Perspective on Cosmic Measurements

The study by Martín López-Corredoira examines the historical underestimation of errors in Hubble constant (H0) measurements, revealing persistent tensions often misinterpreted as significant anomalies. Recalibrating probabilities, the study finds modern "Hubble tension" aligns with historical trends, driven by systematic errors and sociological groupthink. The work emphasizes cautious interpretation of discrepancies and the need to challenge dominant narratives in cosmology for a broader understanding of cosmic phenomena.
