Is the age of the observable universe a homogenious 13.7 billion years throughout?
The age of the universe is indeed homogenous, but there’s a problem. I don’t think it has anything to do with speed of light, since light defines merely perception. The calculations which got us to the fact that the unniverse is 13.7 billion years old does not base on observations from distant stars, but instead, the rate at which our universe is expanding. The logic applied is simple – the age of the universe is simply the distance of any one of the observed galaxy/star divided by it’s velocity of reccession. Mathematically, Age of the universe (hubble time) = 1 / H, where H is the still uncertain, hubble constant….. (1) Also, v = Hd, where ‘v’ id the velocity of reccession and ‘d’ is the distance from us, considering a observed galaxy or star. H = v / d …… (2) From equations (1) AND (2), Age of the uiverse (alias the hubble time) = d / v. Information about the velocity of the distant galaxies may be extracted from the red/blue shifts in the incoming light. Distance may be measu
