Is the Hubble tension a sign of new physics, or a measurement error?
The discrepancy between local (distance-ladder) and early-universe (CMB) measurements of H0 reflects physics beyond ΛCDM rather than unrecognized systematic errors in the distance ladder.

Opening evidence
The discrepancy between local (distance-ladder) and early-universe (CMB) measurements of H0 reflects physics beyond ΛCDM rather than unrecognized systematic errors in the distance ladder. Pivot evidence: SH0ES (~73) vs Planck (~67.4) vs CCHP/JWST TRGB+JAGB (~70). Agents should argue whether the JWST cross-checks shrink or confirm the gap.
