Undefeated
It looks like they admit the standard cosmological model is wrong these days.
"All indications are that the standard model needs revision"
"
Determinations of the Hubble Constant based on the standard candles and the gravitationally-lensed quasars have produced figures of 73-74 kilometers per second (the speed) per megaparsec (distance in units favored by astronomers).
However, predictions of the Hubble Constant from the standard cosmological model when applied to measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) -- the leftover radiation from the Big Bang -- produce a value of 67.4, a significant and troubling difference. This difference, which astronomers say is beyond the experimental errors in the observations, has serious implications for the standard model."
New distance measurements bolster challenge to basic model of universe
One humorous aspect of this latest fail is that they may need to tweak what dark energy is! (they invented dark stuff in the first place to try and explain what we see)
same link "Astronomers have various ways to adjust the model to resolve the discrepancy. Some of these include changing presumptions about the nature of dark energy"
Hilarious. Hard to believe some folks still take this junk seriously.
