      Unpopular opinion: it’s just a cosmological constant. No fundamental physics to be discovered. Money better spent on interesting astrophysics rather than framed as H0 debate. @skdhhttps://twitter.com/josh_sokol/status/1152302635711705088 …

      Got to revisit one of my favorite unfolding stories in science, an arcane but intense debate over one of the most important numbers in the universe. Quotes from @GCFChen, @DScol, more. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/07/debate-intensifies-over-speed-expanding-universe …

      I'm sure you would have said the same thing about Rydberg's constant, then.

      For the non-physicist, is the above argument that it's no more interesting than, say, getting better precision on something like the Feigenbaum constant?

      His argument is that there can be no "understanding" of the cosmological constant. It's just a number that the universe gave us, and there's no deeper physics (called "new physics") that could explain its value. My post was a counterexample of such a constant

      Oooh ok, that makes sense now. I mostly stay in the more biological realm and I'm generally ok with my models being "wrong" in the George Box sense, so when physicists get into disputes about models and reality I can't follow because the concern takes some effort to connect to.

      I see no reason to believe we have any new physics to be discovered in refining our knowledge of Hubble’s constant over time. And nothing here that points me to one!

      Well, sure I do agree if it’s just about refining precision. But your tweet made it seem as if constants are just constants and trying to explain them is a futile endeavor.

          I don’t know, if that’s what you wanted to hear. Why are you not addressing my comment about the Rydberg constant? Or perhaps how the electric charge is related to the weak force coupling to the WZ masses? These are counter examples to your categorical assertions
