3. while there have been several suggestion for new physics to fix
the problem, none of them so far seems to work without disagreeing
with other data.

What fun!


In the question and answer period
One person asked if the triple point of hydrogen may provide
insight to the problem of discrepancy between the local
and the CMB measurements of H_0.
The triple point of hydrogen is at 13.81 K 7.042 kPa.
Silvia Galli didn't provide an answer
other than many things are possible.

The questioning person's name was not given.
Can anyone provide some insight
into what the triple point of hydrogen
has anything to do with discrepancy between
the local and the CMB measurements of H_0?
