Conclusions The CMB inferred Hubble constant is low assuming Λ CDM, but the value is very model dependent 1. Decrease the expansion rate faster up to z = 1100 Impossible to realize fully given other distance data 2. Change the physical size of the CMB fluctuations by changing the expansion speed at z > 1100 Works better, indicating additional semi-relativistic energy in the early Universe
