Hi i am confused as to how to calculate the age of the universe with redshift
say for example

The age of the universe now is 13.4 billion years old (and a critical universe).
How do i find the age of the universe if it was a redshift at say 0.6??

Do i have to find the scale factor first?
I am not very sure, please help!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm trying to find the proportionality relationship between age and scale factor to get current age... can someone please help me
 
Generally questions like yours or Kingfishers get better service on the advanced physics forum,...
