SUMMARY
The current status of the Hubble tension discussion indicates that a methodical error can be excluded, as per recent studies. One prominent theory suggests that the Hubble tension may be explained by our location within a sub-average density void, which challenges the standard model of cosmology with a 7 sigma confidence interval. This theory aligns with MONDian modified gravity cosmology and is supported by various observational evidence, including findings related to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the External Field Effect.
