Cosmic Microwave Background as a Thermal Gas of SU(2) Photons: Implications for the High- Cosmological Model and the Value of

Figure 3

The - relation (curved band) of [30] in confrontation with the high- predictions of and in CDM and (horizontal bands) of (17). Vertical bands indicate the values of extracted in [38] (low) and in [34] (high). Note that there is a ~3σ tension. However, a ~7σ discrepancy exists between the values of  km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ and  km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ associated with the intersections of in CDM and in , respectively, with the - relation. Taking  km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ from [34] the discrepancy between this value and  km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ is about .
