I will present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Lyman alpha forest from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of data from SDSS, SDSS-II, BOSS, and eBOSS, offer the most comprehensive study of the expansion history of the Universe during its last 11 billion years.
I will discuss how SDSS data provide key information about the spatial curvature of the Universe, the abundance of Dark Energy, the sum of the neutrino masses, and about the infamous tension in the measurements of the Hubble constant.
