What does "out of whack" mean?
Context>>>>>>>>>>
The universe doesn’t look right. It suddenly looks . . . out of whack.
That is the strange message coming from astronomers and physicists, who are wondering whether they need to revise cosmic history.
The universe is unimaginably big, and it keeps getting bigger. But astronomers cannot agree on how quickly it is growing — and the more they study the problem, the more they disagree. Some scientists call this a “crisis” in cosmology. A less dramatic term in circulation is “the Hubble Constant tension.”
