Abstract

The Hubble constant which measures the expansion rate of the universe is the most important parameter in Cosmology. Therefore the Hubble constant has been measured by various kind of observations various observations. With new methods and technology, the accuracy of the measurement has improved, but a non-negligible discrepancy between locally measured value and globally measured value has arisen. This is called Hubble constant tension.

In this lecture we start the elementary introduction of cosmology in order to understand the Hubble constant and then provide a possible solution to the problem using the observed inhomogeneous matter distribution in the universe.
