Question 2
Hubble’s constant, H0, can be related to
H0 is currently estimated to be about 70 km/sec/Mpc.
This translates to an age for the universe of about 14
billion years.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is
The radiation observed is the “fossil remnant” of the
primeval fireball that existed at the very beginning of the
universe.
