- There is still some uncertainty in the Hubble constant. (a) Current estimates range from about 19.9 km/s per million light-years to 23 km/s per million light-years. Assume that the Hubble constant has been constant since the Big Bang. What is the possible range in the ages of the universe? Use the equation in the text, T0=1H , and make sure you use consistent units. (b) Twenty years ago, estimates for the Hubble constant ranged from 50 to 100 km/s per Mps. What are the possible ages for the universe from those values? Can you rule out some of these possibilities on the basis of other evidence?arrow_forwardThe age of the universe can be determined if a. the universe is flat. b. the amount of dark matter in the universe can be accurately determined. c. the rate of recession of the galaxies in the Local Group can be accurately determined. d. the temperature of the cosmic background radiation can be accurately determined. e. the Hubble constant and density of the universe can be accurately determined.arrow_forward3:00 PM Fri 23 Apr * * ni 26% web.whatsapp.com + blob:https://web.whatsapp.com/d4009cff-8...
