What would be your estimate of the age of the universe if you measured a value for Hubble's constant of H0 = 30 km/s/Mly ? You c

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The age of the universe would be 9.9 billion years

Explanation:

We can calculate an estimate for the age of the Universe from Hubble's Law. Let's suppose the distance between two galaxies is D and the apparent velocity with which they are separating from each other is v. At some point, the galaxies were touching, and we can consider that time the moment of the Big Bang.

Thus, the time it has taken for the galaxies to reach their current separations is:

$\displaystyle{t=D/v}$

and from Hubble's Law:

$v =H_0D$

Therefore:

$\displaystyle{t=D/v=D/(H_0\times D)=1/H_0}$

With the given value for the Hubble's constant we have:

$H_0=(30\ km/s/Mly) \times (1 Mly/ 9.461 \times 10^{18} km) = 3.17\times 10^{-18}\ 1/s$

and thus,

$t=1/H_0 = 1/(3.17\times 10^{-18} 1/s) = 0.315 \times 10^{18}\ s \approx 9988584474.8858\ years \approx 9.9\ billion\ years$
