TL;DR Summary

The Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed the universe's expansion rate, but a persistent difference, known as the Hubble Tension, remains between the measured value and the predicted value from the Big Bang. The telescopes' measurements have erased doubts about Hubble's accuracy, but the discrepancy persists, leading to questions about whether new physics or measurement errors are at play. The study's findings suggest that the Hubble Tension is not due to measurement errors, and further observations are needed to understand the universe's expansion between the afterglow of the Big Bang and the present day.
