Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.BCP
The age of the universe is unknown, but some conclude from measuring Hubble’s constant that the age is about 18 billion years old, which is about four times the age of Earth. If so, calculate the age of the universe in seconds. If you had a sample of carbon with the same number of carbon atoms as there have been seconds since the universe began, determine whether you could measure this sample on a laboratory balance that can detect masses as small as 0.1 mg.
