Differential Expansion Across the Universe
Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed that the rate of expansion of the universe varies in different parts, contrary to the expectation that it should be uniform everywhere since the Big Bang. The data from Cepheid stars in five different galaxies did not align with the rate of expansion inferred from exploding stars in the distance, indicating a differential expansion in various regions of the universe. This discrepancy challenges the understanding of the physics behind the universe's expansion.
