Scottish Higher: Physics | Hubble's Law

Edwin Hubble measured the recessional velocities (the speed galaxies move away from earth).
He found that:

• Most galaxies (distant ones) all move away from earth.
• Galaxies that are more distant travel at a greater velocity

The relationship between galaxy distance and speed is:

• V = H₀d
• V = Recessional Velocity
• H₀ = Hubble's Constant (2.3×10^-18 S^-1)
• d = Distance from location to galaxies.

Related relationships / formulae:

• d÷t = H₀d
• 1÷t = H₀
• t = 1÷H₀ (t = Age of the universe)

Calculating the age of the universe:

• t = 1÷H₀
• t = 1÷2.3×10^-18
• t = 4.3×10¹⁷ Seconds
• t = 7.24...×10¹⁵ Minuites (÷60)
• t = 1.20...×10¹⁴ Hours (÷60)
• t = 5.03...×10¹² Days (÷24)
• t = 1.37...×10¹⁰ 365-Day-Years (÷365)
• t = 1.37...×10¹⁰ Real (365.25 Day) Years (Slight Difference) (÷365.25)
• t = ~ 13'444'429'480 Real Years
• t = ~ 13.7 Billion Real Years
  
  

Fun Facts:

Standard candles are stars that we know the real light level of

The slope or gradient of current distance away ÷ original distance away is always the same, no matter your home galaxy.

Double the distance away means that it has double the rate of expansion
