A New Way to Measure The Expansion of the Universe. The Cosmological Crisis Deepens.
This episode is a segment that we did in the Weekly Space Hangout talking about how astronomers are using masers (water lasers) to measure the expansion rate of the Universe.
You'd think that another, independent way to measure the expansion rate of the Universe would be helpful, but it's only deepened the mystery of the cosmological crisis.

Ah, finally someone said it, "it is a new form of physics". I knew it all along. There are a whole new set of equations to be written, new instruments to be made, new theories to explained... so let's begin by splitting quarks into subquarks called pyseons which has the frequency needed to slow down the speed of light. They probably will be found in black holes because there is enough energy inside them to pull apart the quarks and let the pyseons slow down light enough to make it go in the opposite direction. I love new physics because it is more fun than the new math of the mid 20th century.
Or it's dust.
Very informative presentation of a fascinating subject, and entertaining to boot. From light not behaving like light to "it's dust" I enjoyed it greatly.
I really enjoyed this one. Better than a TLDR, nice dive into a very interesting subject.
Oh great, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
