Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.
I took an undergrad course in stargazing, so I’m basically an expert in… whatever that is…
Prof was a big spectroscopy nerd, so we mostly focused on that.
What I gather from this article is that we still don’t know what dark energy is. We haven’t for decades. So the new telescope has failed to enlighten us about a mystery that’s been around longer than half of the users here.
Anyone here an expert on Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG), Tensor-Vector-Scalar Gravity (TeVeS) or f® gravity?

Yes, we still don’t know what dark energy is, but the article doesn’t directly mention that.
I would argue the opposite. It’s entire purpose is to enlighten (gather EM data) and its done this to a higher accuracy than Hubble.
It’s just job is not to explain the measurements. That’s ours.
