A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of science's biggest questions—the Hubble tension.

The quest to determine how fast the universe is expanding has irked cosmologists for decades, leading it to be dubbed the Hubble tension—or even the Hubble crisis.

But new findings, published in Nature Astronomy, could help to finally answer the cosmic question.

"This is an exciting moment for us and the wider cosmology community because our idea could address two major unsolved puzzles about our universe—the Hubble tension and the origin of cosmic magnetic fields," says Levon Pogosian, professor and department chair at SFU Physics, and co-author of the paper.
