SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship defined by the equation d/R = v/c, where d represents distance, v is recession velocity, R is the radius of the Universe, and c is the speed of light. Participants confirm that this equation holds true even when the Hubble Constant (H) varies over time, as long as all variables are measured at the same temporal reference. The consensus is that the fundamental relationships between these variables remain consistent regardless of the changes in Hubble Constant.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Hubble Constant (H)
  • Familiarity with cosmological distance measurements
  • Knowledge of recession velocity (v) in cosmology
  • Basic principles of the speed of light (c)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of varying Hubble Constant on cosmological models
  • Explore the concept of Hubble radius in detail
  • Study the relationship between recession velocity and distance in expanding Universe models
  • Learn about the historical measurements of the Hubble Constant and their evolution
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, cosmologists, and physics students interested in the dynamics of the Universe and the implications of the Hubble Constant on cosmic expansion.

Does d/R = v/c ??

Hubble Constant=H
distance = d
recession velocity = v
radius of Universe (light travel distance) = R
speed of light = c

Hd=v
d=v/H
R=c/H

d/R = v/c

Is this still true even with varying H with time?

just to clarify notation. It all makes sense to me if these are PRESENT VALUES. except for c which I assume is constant and you could adjust units so that it is c = 1.

so v is present recession velocity of an object whose present distance from us is d.

and R is the present Hubble radius.

Yes that makes good sense. So if the object's present distance is twice Hubble radius, then its present recession velocity is twice the speed of light.

yes. that is the way I learned it IIRC.

==============

now you ask is this different as H varies with time.

I think IMO it is NOT different, as long as you imagine all the variables to be measured at that other time, in the past or future.

Exactly the same relations hold, between the recession speed THEN and the distance THEN and the Hubble radius THEN etc.
