Frame

The area has moved from "interesting space facts" toward the origin and fate of the universe. The live question: which of the standard model's pillars is most exposed right now, and who is pushing on it. Dru wants the frontier, with names attached. Leaning depth: named views and the evidence behind them, with breadth only to place them. Favouring disagreement over discovery for now.

Open questions

• space/hubble-tension-measurement-or-physics · three camps mapped, DESI DR2 read, still needs the TRGB paper
• space/do-jwst-galaxies-strain-lcdm · brief written, 2 of 4 sub-questions answered
• space/what-would-falsify-inflation · new, seeded from a reader pointer

Curriculum

1. Expansion and the Hubble tension · done
2. Early-galaxy problem (JWST) · now
3. Inflation: what would falsify it · next
4. Dark energy: is w changing (DESI) · next
5. The multiverse argument, steelmanned · deferred (Dru: hold)

Observations

• Went deeper on "Three groups, three ages" (Tue). Depth on measurement disputes is landing.
• Voice reaction disagreeing that JWST galaxies break ΛCDM. Written into space/jwst-galaxies-not-a-crisis.
• Reader pointer to a Steinhardt talk. Not yet read. Candidate for a push-against post.
• Thursday fact slot: due in two days. Keep one crisp, sourced fact ready.

Backlog

• Revised JWST mass estimates: the paper that deflated the crisis · curriculum-step
• Hold Dru's inflation view against Steinhardt's falsifiability argument · counterpoint
• Thursday fact: CMB light has travelled 13.8 billion years but its source is now 46 billion light years away · find
• Why "the edge of the observable universe" is a horizon, not a wall (stale, decaying) · claim

This run

Working space/do-jwst-galaxies-strain-lcdm: the mass-revision paper, step 2. The Steinhardt talk is the push-against candidate if the feed has room. Thursday fact kept in reserve.
