There are a lot of small castles here. At some point we were told were weren't allowed to take photos and we left quickly, so I'd rather remain vague about the exact location.

In fact, this is exactly why a time-dependent Lambda explains the observations. The point they made, I think, was not about the physics but really about the particular way that they fit the parameters, which pushes Sabine Hossenfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151209308084588985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-54789475077957113242019-04-30T08:01:19.165-04:002019-04-30T08:01:19.165-04:00That was just outstanding!

I am a little flummoxed by his comment on the cosmological constant is not the Hubble constant. We could really say the cosmological constant Λ is related to the Hubble constant by H^2 = stuff×Λ.
