Summary

Story summary

Cosmologists are addressing the "Hubble tension," a discrepancy in measuring the universe's expansion rate.
Recent research suggests black hole mergers do not adequately explain this tension.
Actual black hole mergers are estimated to be 10,000 times fewer than required.
These findings, submitted to arXiv, contribute to the understanding of cosmic mysteries.
The research is unpeer-reviewed, emphasizing ongoing challenges in cosmology.
