Cosmological Expansion Rate – Issues and Effects| Cosmological Expansion Rate – Issues and Effects |
Global-Local Relationship > s.a. acceleration [variation in time];
friedmann equation.
* Status: 2013, There is a 9% discrepancy
between the value for H0 obtained indirectly from
global measurements of the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations, \(H_0\)
= 67.8 ± 0.9 km/s·Mpc, and the one obtained more directly from local measurements
of the relation between redshifts and distances to sources, \(H_0\) = 73.8 ± 2.4 km/s·Mpc;
Only part of this seems to be attributable to a cosmic variance of the Hubble parameter.

* With dark energy: If
it is modeled as a perfect fluid with equation of state parameter w >
–1, one gets a(t)
= a0 (t/t0)2/3(1+w).
* Effect of inhomogeneities: If the length scale at which homogeneity sets in is much smaller than the Hubble length scale, the back-reaction on the expansion rate due to averaging over inhomogeneities is negligible.
