Consider the figure showing a Lemaˆ ıtre universe. Labeled on it are several points. Answer these questions: what sign does the deceleration parameter have at the time marked Now? What sign did it have for quasar A? What redshifts do quasars B and C have? What is the lookback time to quasars B and C (in the time units of the plot)? Is the NOW-measured Hubble period greater or less than the actual age of the universe?
