For an observation time {equal to} the universe age, the Heisenberg principle fixes the value of the smallest measurable mass at $m_{\rm H}=1.35 \times 10^{-69}$ kg and prevents to probe the masslessness for any particle using a balance.…
The $\Lambda$CDM 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…
The Supernova Cosmology Project has discovered over twenty-eight supernovae (SNe) at 0.35 <z < 0.65 in an ongoing program that uses Type Ia SNe as high-redshift distance indicators. Here we present measurements of the ratio between the…
The Hubble expansion of the Universe is considered in the classical limit of a Big Bang quantum cosmology. In an IR-consistent coupling to the the bare cosmological constant, we infer a dark energy as a relic of the Big Bang by loss of…
In this paper we will list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, also taking into account the current discordances between the different cosmological probes, such as the disagreement in the value of the Hubble…
The standard $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides an amazing description of a wide range of astrophysical and astronomical data. However, there are a few big open questions, that make the standard model look like a…
Tension between cosmic microwave background-based and distance ladder-based determinations of the Hubble constant ${\rm H}_{\rm 0}$ motivates pursuit of independent methods that are not subject to the same systematic effects. A promising…
In this Letter, we use the latest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey to measure the Hubble constant. Baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) observations released by the DESI survey, allow us to determine $H_0$…
While the recent discovery of the Cepheid variables in the Virgo cluster galaxies puts additional support for the Hubble constant $H_0 \sim 80$km/sec/Mpc, a relatively lower value $H_0 \sim 50$km/sec/Mpc is suggested by other distance…
Lack of knowledge about the background expansion history of the Universe from independent observations makes it problematic to obtain a precise and accurate estimation of the Hubble constant $H_0$ from gravitational wave standard sirens,…
Astrophysical observations indicate that the ``Local Universe" has a relatively lower matter density ($\Omega_0$) than the predictions of the standard inflation cosmology and the large-scale motions of galaxies which provide a mean mass…
Despite the outstanding achievements of modern cosmology, the classical dispute on the precise value of $H_0$, which is the first ever parameter of modern cosmology and one of the prime parameters in the field, still goes on and on after…
We present a new measurement of the Hubble constant ($H_0$) resulting from the first joint analysis of standard sirens with weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering observables comprising three two-point correlation functions…
Over the past decades, cosmology has become largely based on experimental data, the most important sources of which are studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB is present in the Universe since the very first moments of its…
Hubble tension is routinely presented as a mismatch between the Hubble constant $H_0$ determined locally and a value inferred from the flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. In essence, the tension boils down to a disagreement between two numbers.…
We perform a measurement of the Hubble constant, $H_0$, using the latest baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) measurements from galaxy surveys of 6dFGS, SDSS DR7 Main Galaxy Sample, BOSS DR12 sample, and eBOSS DR14 quasar sample, in the…
A linearity test shows H_0 to decrease by 7% out to 18000 km/s. The value at 10000 km/s is a good approximation to the mean value of Ho over very large scales. The construction of the extragalactic distance scale is discussed. Field…
We perform a cosmographic analysis using several cosmological observables such as the luminosity distance moduli, the volume distance, the angular diameter distance and the Hubble parameter. These quantities are determined using different…

The Hubble constant $H_{0}$ and matter density $\Omega_{m}$ of the Universe are measured using the latest $\gamma$-ray attenuation results from Fermi-LAT and Cherenkov telescopes. This methodology is based upon the fact that the…
