The Hubble tension
The cosmic microwave background implies about 67 km/s/Mpc, while the Cepheid–supernova distance ladder gives about 73, a gap well beyond quoted errors. Either one method has an unrecognized systematic error or the standard cosmological model is missing something. JWST measurements have not yet settled which.
What would settle it
Independent measurements that converge, or a model that fits both
