By focusing on the simple $w eq-1$ extension to $Lambda$CDM, we assess which epoch(s) possibly source the $H_0$-tension. We consider Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data in three possible ways: $i)$ complete CMB data; $ii)$ excluding the $l<30$ temperature and polarization likelihoods; $iii)$ imposing early universe priors, that disentangle early and late time physics. Through a joint analysis with low-redshift supernovae type-Ia and gravitationally lensed time delay datasets, {and neglecting galaxy clustering Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data}, we find that the inclusion of early universe CMB priors is consistent with the local estimate of $H_0$ while excluding the low-$l$+lowE likelihoods mildly relaxes the tension. This is in contrast to joint analyses with the complete CMB data. Our simple implementation of contrasting the effect of different CMB priors on the $H_0$ estimate shows that the early universe information from the CMB data when decoupled from late-times physics could be in agreement with a higher value of $H_0$. {We also find no evidence for the early dark energy model using only the early universe physics within the CMB data. Finally using the BAO data in different redshift ranges to perform inverse distance ladder analysis, we find that the early universe modifications, while being perfectly capable of alleviating the $H_0$-tension when including the BAO galaxy clustering data, would be at odds with the Ly-$alpha$ BAO data due to the difference in $r_{rm d}, vs., H_0$ correlation between the two BAO datasets.} We therefore infer and speculate that source for the $H_0$-tension between CMB and local estimates could possibly originate in the modeling of late-time physics within the CMB analysis. This in turn recasts the $H_0$-tension as an effect of late-time physics in CMB, instead of the current early-time CMB vs. local late-time physics perspective.
It is currently thought that the early dark energy (EDE) resolution of the Hubble tension will inevitably suffer inconsistency with the large scale structure data (quantified as $S_8$). However, if this so-called $S_8$ tension is physical, it might b
We investigate the possibility of phantom crossing in the dark energy sector and solution for the Hubble tension between early and late universe observations. We use robust combinations of different cosmological observations, namely the CMB, local me
The Phenomenologically Emergent Dark Energy model, a dark energy model with the same number of free parameters as the flat $Lambda$CDM, has been proposed as a working example of a minimal model which can avoid the current cosmological tensions. A str
The mismatch between the locally measured expansion rate of the universe and the one inferred from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) assuming the canonical $Lambda$CDM model has become the new cornerstone of modern cosmology, and
The cosmological term, $Lambda$, was introduced $104$ years ago by Einstein in his gravitational field equations. Whether $Lambda$ is a rigid quantity or a dynamical variable in cosmology has been a matter of debate for many years, especially after t
