Hubble Tension: The Evidence of New Physics

Abstract

The Λ\LambdaCDM model provides a good fit to most astronomical observations but harbors large areas of phenomenology and ignorance. With the improvements in the precision and number of observations, discrepancies between key cosmological parameters of this model have emerged. Among them, the most notable tension is the 4σ\sigma to 6σ\sigma deviation between the Hubble constant (H0H_{0}) estimations measured by the local distance ladder and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurement. In this review, we revisit the H0H_{0} tension based on the latest research and sort out evidence from solutions to this tension that might imply new physics beyond the Λ\LambdaCDM model. The evidence leans more towards modifying the late-time universe.
