Watch the full video on youtube here: https://youtu.be/b3Tx1g8gKmY Other Episode with Adam Reiss: https://youtu.be/WZUqzHRuzhA The Hubble constant is a pillar of our understanding of the universe. Since the observation made by its namesake Edwin Hubble in 1929 that Galaxies were moving away from each other, the Hubble Constant has been persistently measured and confirmed. In 2011 Adam Reiss shared a Nobel prize by showing that the expansion rate was also accelerating.  Since then, Dr. Reiss has persevered on his quest to determine why, depending on how its measured, the rate of expansion varies far beyond the margin for error. Why? Is there a problem with the cosmological principle a pillar of cosmology? What other forces of nature could be at work? In this fast moving discussion, Brian and Adam explore how the hubble tension is being measured using the world’s most advanced observational instruments on earth and in space. Find out what drives precision science forward and keeps Dr. Reiss motivated, event after recieiving the coveted Nobel.
