Gaia clocks speedy cosmic expansion

Quote

Europe’s Gaia space telescope has been used to clock the expansion rate of the Universe and - once again - it has produced some head-scratching.

The reason? The speed is faster than what one would expect from measurements of the cosmos shortly after the Big Bang.

Some other telescopes have found this same problem, too.

But Gaia’s contribution is particularly significant because the precision of its observations is unprecedented.

Thank you Waspie,  really interesting. 

Would this mean we could/should rethink about how dark matter and dark energy interact with the visible universe? 

Or rethink them altogether?
