Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • As per Hubble's law, the universe is expanding. The recessional velocity of galaxies is directly proportional to the distance. The farther they are, the faster they are moving away from Earth. This is known as Hubble's law.

 

  • This gives us the age of the universe and can be derived from Hubble's law. This time also known as Hubble's time is given by,

τH=1H0

Here H0 is the Hubble's constant.
