Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.
Those are weird units indeed :
(1 km /s) / 1 mega parsec =
(1000 m/s)/(106 x 3.0857×1016 m) =
1/3.0857×1019 seconds =
1/978 x109 years.
So, when we multiply by the rates (which are either 67 or 74) we get :
1/ 14.6 giga years or
1/ 13.2 giga years
… basically ( 1/ “age of the universe”).
Meaning physical observation disagree about the age of the universe …or the theory is faulty.
What are the different rates? How much variance is there?
From memory it varies between about 67km/s per megaparsec to 74km/s per megaparsec.
Also it’s really weird to describe something in terms of km/s when you look at an area over millions of lightyears
