摘要
The age of the Universe depends on both the present-day Hubble Constant and the history of cosmic expansion. For decelerating cosmologies such as Omega(m) = 1, the dimensionless product H(0)t < 1 and modestly high values of the Hubble constant H-0 > 70 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) would be inconsistent with a cosmic age to larger than 12 Gyr. However, if Omega(Lambda) > 0, then H(0)t(0) can take on a range of values. Evidence from the Hubble diagram for high redshift Type Ia supernovae favors Omega(Lambda) similar to 0.7 and H(0)t(0) similar to 1. Then, if Ho lies in the range 65-73 km s(-1) Mpc(-1), the age of the Universe, to, is 14 +/- 1.6 Gyr.
