Resolving the Hubble trouble with a variation of "constants"

ORAL

Abstract

Measurements of the early- and late-time Universe disagree on the value of the local expansion rate, H0, at a level of 5σ with no clear solution in sight. Utilizing a variation of the fundamental constants α and me along with a newly revealed symmetry of cosmological observables, we demonstrate the ability to generate CMB spectra which agree with observations while having high values of H0.
