Question

1. What is your value for the Hubble Constant and the age of the Universe? Quantitatively (use ratios) compare your age for the Universe to the age of the Sun (5 billion years), and to the age of the oldest stars in the Milky Way (approximately 12.5 billion years). Comment on your findings. 1. What is your value for the Hubble Constant and the age of the Universe?

Explanation / Answer

ans)

Adding the factor of deceleration due to gravity to the age of the Universe changes

my answer to 12.5 billion years. This answer is found by calculating 2/3 of my original answer of the age of the Universe.

My age of the Universe is higher than the age of the Sun and the age of the stars in the Milky Way. There would be a problem if the age of my Universe was lower than the age of the Sun or the Milky Way.

Since my age of the Universe is higher.
