Abstract
For dimensional analysis, the universe can be considered the visible picture from earth. The dimensions of the universe are deduced from Hubble's constant, a factor related to the rate at which the universe is expanding. The traditional methods of determining this constant, which is the relationship between the rate at which the galaxies within the universe are receding from each other and their distance, have been updated, according to a recent report (W. Waller, The Universe: Younger Perhaps Than We Thought, Res. Rep. 27, pp. 1–8, Smithsonian Institution, 1979), with the result that the rate of the universe's expansion may be twice as high as previously believed. If this new result is true, the consequences in astronomic theory are far reaching. At twice the rate of expansion, the universe is only half as large and thus only half the currently accepted age. Based on the new data, the new age is placed at only 9 billion years.
