If the universe were only 7 billion years old, the Hubble constant would be A) measured to be about 140 km/s/Mpc B) changing rapidly C) .. measured to be about 35 km/s/Mpc 8 7 8 9 6 3 4 0

Explanation / Answer

Option A) is correct.

The Hubble time is t = 1/H0

This illustrates that the larger the value of Ho, the smaller the value of the Hubble time. Recall that the Hubble time is an over estimate for the age of the Universe.

So

t1/t2 = Ho2/Ho1

Ho2 = (t1/t2)*Ho1 = 2*70 = 140 km/s/Mpc
