First, some scientists try to discover the speed at which galaxies separate from each other. And they call this the Hubble constant, this Hubble constant has the value of 71 kilometers per second divided by megaparsec, so the more distant the galaxies, the faster they move away.
A megaparsec is 3.09 times 10 to the power of 19 kilometers, a year is 3.15 times 10 to the power of 7 seconds.
The initial time is the inverse of the Hubble constant, so doing the calculations we have that the time of the beginning of the universe is 13.7 billion years.
But new discoveries with the James Webb space observatory lead to several doubts about this value. Well, the space company's documents date back 13.3 billion years. Which looks like it will demolish this way of calculating
