Evaluation and measurements of the age for the universe

Abstract

The universe is expanding, at a very large rate, which attracts a large number of scholars to measure its age and size accurately. In this paper, a possible way to measure the age of the universe is proposed. To be specific, this study employs a CCD and an EMCCD camera to evaluate the redshift of the Hydrogen isotopes in another galaxy. Then, compare values to those on Earth are compared and the escaping velocity of the galaxy are calculated. Afterwards, the distance between us and the galaxy are derived, and the age of the universe will come out from the Hubble’s Law. The data collected from a CCD camera and an EMCCD camera set on a 0.61m telescope. According to the analysis, the age of the universe is 9.7 billion years, which has a 29.6% margin of error. The reason why it has such large margin of error is that all the measurement of distance is based on a simple ruler. Naked eyes easily cause error, so in the following experiments more concise measurements will be employed with appropriate equipment. When one knows the age of the universe, a series of investigations and study can be carried out in context of the evolution of the universe. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of unveiling the evolution of the universe.
