Hubble constant H₀ (km/s/Mpc)

Every distant galaxy recedes at a velocity proportional to its distance: v = H₀·d. This uniform expansion is the same seen from any galaxy — there is no center. The inverse of H₀ gives the Hubble time, a rough estimate of the age of the universe.

H₀70 km/s/Mpc

Hubble time14.0 Gyr

v at 100 Mpc7,000 km/s

Governing equation

v = H_{0} d = 70 \times 100 = 7, 000 km/s, t_{H} = \frac{1}{H _{0}} \approx 14.0 Gyr

Reading this result: Right in the Hubble-tension zone: this H₀ gives a Hubble time of 14.0 Gyr, close to the measured 13.8-Gyr age of the universe.
