  • 06:22: ... rate is encapsulated in something we call the Hubble constant, which just tells how fast a galaxy is moving away from us given its ...
  • 08:58: ... had been using to get distances to galaxies, and so calculate the Hubble constant and the age of the universe. It’s similar to the Cepheid method because ...
  • 09:39: ... He eventually concluded that the expansion rate of the universe – the Hubble constant – was about 75 kilometers per second per megaparsec. Now, don't worry ...
  • 06:22: ... thousands of astronomers have devoted their lives to measuring the Hubble constant - and a big part of the motivation is that it tells us the age of the ...

  • 00:02: The search for a single number, the Hubble constant,...
  • 01:12: We encapsulate the expansion of the universe with a single number, called the Hubble constant.
  • 02:05: ...used to measure this fundamental parameter, the Hubble constant,...
  • 02:10: But before we get to that, let's talk about the great quest to measure the Hubble constant.

  • 05:44: Recent teams have now narrowed down the Hubble constant to 73.5 ± 1,7...
  • 07:54: So,... how can the CMB tell us the Hubble constant?
  • 09:09: So, how do you get the Hubble constant, i.e., the current expansion rate, from all of this?
  • 12:26: The answer will depend on whether the more correct measurement of the Hubble constant...

  • 08:41: The Hubble Constant is just the Hubble Parameter for the present day.

2016-04-13: Will the Universe Expand Forever?

  • 07:18: The expansion rate now is what we call the "Hubble constant." It's around 70 kilometers per second per megaparsec.
