${H}_{o} = 71$ km/sec/megaparsec

Explanation:

An excerpt from pp 144-145 of the essay #10. Esoteric Science

About Universe and Creation, 'Faiths and Proximate Truths (2010)', A.

...All galaxies appear to be receding from one another. Any space

location or motion is relative, and there is a fourth dimension,

time.

Galaxies motion is described as motion of islands in space. And the

velocity of a galaxy is estimated by the Doppler effect ( light

emitted from a source is shifted in wave-length, by the motion of

light source).

In respect of this motion, Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953) had

discovered a linear correlation between speed and distance (rate

of change of speed with respect to the distance is constant):

The Linear Velocity = ${H}_{o}$ X Distance Here, ${H}_{o}$ is called

the Hubble constant, that was originally thought of as 75, and now

revised as 71 km/sec/mega parsec (parsec = 3.26 light years). For

this value, the expansion time (reckoned from Big Bang (BB)) of

our universe is estimated as $13.77 X {10}^{9}$ years. ... ..:
