Abstract:
I introduce the audience to the gross features of primordial magnetic field evolution before recombination. Then, I will show how primordial magnetic fields can help relieve the Hubble tension. Permitting time, I will finally make some general statements about a large number of beyond LambdaCDM models proposed to solve the Hubble tension and why they usually do not completely achieve this goal.
