Currently, there is a large mismatch between calculations of the rate of expansion of the universe using different methods. This questions asks whether this mismatch will become better or worse with data from James Webb Telescope
Resolves whenever the first peer-reviewed study that uses James Webb data to estimate the Hubble constant using the distance ladder and Cepheids is released. Will extend the close date if needed. When such a study is released, if it's estimate is more at odds (has a smaller probability of being different by random chance) with Planck's estimate of the Hubble constant than the latest large study that estimated Hubble's constant based on Gaia and Hubble data, then this questions resolves YES. Otherwise, resolves NO.
