 PPT 16 - Methods for estimating the age of the
Universe

Astronomers estimate the age of the

universe in two ways:

1.Age of galaxies from the travel

time of light.

2. Age of the universe from

expansion.
Under the laws of General Relativity, if you
have a Universe like ours, which is:
of uniform density READ PPT
on the 17
largest scales,
which has the same laws and general properties at all
locations,
which is the same in all directions, and

in which the Big Bang occurred at all locations everywhere

at once, then there is a unique connection between how old
the Universe is and how it’s expanded throughout its history.
We learn this from a whole host of observations, including:

From direct measurements of the brightness's and distances of

objects in the Universe such as stars, galaxies and supernovae,
allowing us to construct the cosmic distance ladder
From measurements of large-scale-structure, the clustering of
galaxies, and from baryon acoustic oscillations
And from the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave
background, a “snapshot” of the Universe when it was a mere
380,000 years old.
