New study adds further support to the veracity of the standard cosmological model.

It also makes a calculation of the Hubble constant—how fast the universe is expanding—with a new method.

The study was conducted by UC Davis researchers and colleagues in the South Pole Telescope collaboration, led by the University of Chicago .

Their prediction is consistent with the prediction made using the cosmic microwave background intensity maps measured by the Planck satellite.

The team's new prediction is precise enough to be discrepant with the supernovae measurements at very high statistical significance.

It aligns more with the rate of expansion predicted by the standard cosmological model.
