Скачать или смотреть 30 Cosmic Theories Debunked: Final Data from ACT Telescope Shakes Up Cosmology

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has left a lasting legacy after its final data release. This telescope, located in Chile, has provided groundbreaking insights into the early universe and its cosmic microwave background (CMB). The CMB, emitted when the universe was just 380,000 years old, holds crucial information about the early cosmos. ACT's expertise in studying the CMB's polarization has led to some surprising discoveries.
The data reveals a discrepancy in the expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble tension. This mystery has cosmologists stumped, but ACT's findings have ruled out around 30 theoretical models that attempted to explain this tension. These models, known as extended cosmological models, failed to match ACT's observations.
Paul M. Sutter, a research professor in astrophysics, highlights the importance of these negative results. He explains that ruling out incorrect theories is a crucial step in the scientific process, bringing us closer to understanding the true nature of the universe.
This video explores the impact of ACT's final data release and its implications for our understanding of the cosmos. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of cosmology and the ongoing quest to unravel the universe's greatest mysteries.
