This could suggest one of the underlying theories of physics may be incorrect. I call them megamasers… Earlier observations challenging theoretical values for the Hubble Constant relied on accurate measurements of the distance to far-flung galaxies. It is fairly straightforward to measure the rate at which objects including galaxies are receding away from us. What is more challenging is finding the distance to these bodies. However, observations suggest a significantly higher rate of expansion, closer to 74 km/sec/Mpc....
