its silly to think we have arrived at absolute truths. everything is just theories and a general model consensus that fits those theories at the time. humans once believed the heavens were static and permanent. we spent a long time with models that thought that everything orbited the earth.
we very likely will go through quite a few more revolutions that completely redefine the models we use to understand the universe.
We tend to make up rules to fit the current theroy, Einstein did it and we have done it with inflation to fit the standard model. I think we are in an exicting time, we could get the next Einstein from it, although I think now it’s more teams than individuals taking the credit
I really love their videos, especially the ones on space, but this one seemed a bit… undercooked? From the somewhat clickbaity beginning (this is simply how science works…) to the essence of the problem, which was left only hinted at – every time I got excited they immediately changed the subject lol. I’d love it to be much more in-depth actually.
It seems pretty clear that the less precise supernova results are very likely also the less accurate method. Results are out that show when accounting for galaxy age and rotation in GR models, the supernova results lower into agreement with the others, but they seem pretty new. I expect it’ll be a few years until consensus but it makes sense.
