XLIII President of the United States: 2001 - 2009
Remarks to the National Urban League Conference
Thank you all very much. Well, Hugh, thank you very much. I'm honored to be introduced by such a good man and an important leader for our country.
I want to thank the leadership of the National Urban League for inviting me. For those of you who don't live here, I welcome you to the Nation's Capital. You've come here to hold America to its founding promises of justice and opportunity. There are many items on that agenda, from economic empowerment, election reform to criminal justice reform. Right before we came in the hall, I had the opportunity to visit with this organization's fine leadership, and my pledge to them and my pledge to you is, I'll work together with you to do what's right for America.
Here in Washington we are reaching a moment of decision on one issue, an issue that is urgent in every urban neighborhood, the issue of education. So this morning, among the Nation's most influential urban leaders, I want to speak about the essential choices facing our Congress and our country when it comes to the reform of our public schools.
Again, I thank my friend Hugh Price for the invitation. I thank him for his diligence. I thank him for his leadership. I want to thank Ken Lewis as well. I appreciate so very much Leland Brendsel. I want to thank Ken Blackwell, the secretary of state of Ohio, and Joe Rogers, the Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, who are here.
I appreciate so very much the Secretary of Education, Rod Paige, serving our Nation. You know, when it came to picking the Secretary of Education, I didn't—wasn't interested in picking a theorist or a philosopher; I was interested in picking a doer. And this man has successfully run the Houston Independent School District. He raised the standards, challenged the status quo when there's failure. That's what he and I are both going to do now that we're in Washington, DC.
I also appreciate so very much Larry Thompson, the Deputy Attorney General, for joining us as well. Thank you, Larry. Where are you, Larry? Somewhere out there.
The men and women of the Urban League know how important our schools are, how much good they can do in the life of a child, and how much is lost when they fail. You've seen both. The mission of the National Urban League is to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights. And successful schools have always been central to that mission. An equal society begins within equally excellent schools. But we know our schools today are not equal. The failure of many urban schools is a great and continuing scandal. Rarely in American history have we faced a problem so serious and destructive on which change has come so slowly.
The most basic educational skill is reading. The most basic obligation of any school is to teach reading. Yet, earlier this year, we found that almost two-thirds of African American children in the fourth grade cannot read at basic grade level. For white children, that figure is 27 percent. The gap is wide and troubling, and it's not getting any better. That gap leads to personal tragedy and social injustice. In America literacy is liberation, and we must set all our children free.
The ability to read is what turns a child into a student. First we learn to read, and then we read to learn. When this skill is not taught, a child has not failed the system; the system has failed the child. And that child is often put on a path of frustration and broken confidence.
For too long, many schools have been content to blame their failure on parents, on poverty, on circumstances beyond their control. Year after year, children without schools are passed along in schools without standards. Some see this social promotion as an act of compassion. It is, in fact, a form of discrimination, the soft bigotry of low expectations. That bigotry has young casualties, and that bigotry must end.
Listen to the experience of one young girl from New York. She said, "In the fifth grade I missed maybe 90 days of school, and they passed me with no problem. In the sixth grade I missed maybe 100 days, and they passed me with no problem. I don't even remember taking the exam," she said. "They just kept passing me along. I ended up dropping out in the seventh grade. I basically felt that no one cared."
That young woman learned one lesson in school: No one cared—at least no one who could help. Millions of children carry that same lesson throughout their lives, and we owe them better. We owe all our children the pride and promise of learning. We must return the spirit of ambition and achievement to all our public schools.
The Urban League is reaching toward that goal by highlighting student achievement, by focusing on early literacy, by encouraging every child to read and rise. And our Government must have those same priorities. Education is a local responsibility; yet, improving our public schools is a national goal. And all of us must do our part.
For nearly 40 years, our Federal Government has tried to improve education with money alone. We invested $158 billion in title I programs, with great intentions and no measurable result. We've been pumping gas into a flooded engine. Just as faith without works is dead, money without reform is fruitless.
Yet today, after decades of frustration, we're on the verge of dramatic reform. Schools must have the resources they need, and I support more spending. Local folks must be in charge of local schools, because they're closest to the children and their challenges. But most of all, we need true accountability, the centerpiece of reform. Consequences for school officials must be determined by proven results for children. Those in authority must show responsibility. The purpose of education, after all, is not jobs for adults; it's learning for students.
Accountability is an exercise in hope. When we raise academic standards, children raise their academic sights. When children are regularly tested, teachers know where and how to improve. When scores are known to parents, parents are empowered to push for change. When accountability for our schools is real, the results for our children are real.
I know this because I've seen it. In Texas, when we first introduced accountability measures, only 56 percent of African Americans fourth graders could pass our State reading test. Today, 83 percent of those students pass the tests. African American eighth graders in Texas are writing better than their peers in any other State.
Our Texas State tests require and measure progress amongst every minority group. And the great news is, we've gotten progress amongst every group in Texas. We saw supposedly hopeless schools make major progress. We saw students who had been written off find the self-esteem of real accomplishment. We saw how determined reform can confound the cynics and the skeptics.
Accountability can work in all of America, and our Federal Government must take the side of meaningful reform. Our Government must speak for disadvantaged children who are often overlooked and underestimated. I'm an activist for high standards. I'm an activist for accountability. My administration has set a great goal: We will lift the load of low expectations so that all children will rise.
The United States Congress now shares this goal. Our plan passed both the House and the Senate with big bipartisan majorities. Our national debate has come a long way. But in the short distance we have left, there are some vital decisions to be made. Our landmark education reform is now in what they call a conference committee. We're coming down to the wire. We've got to finish strong and make sure the accountability measures are right.
So today I'm urging the Congress to act quickly and to act wisely on three major issues. First, we must begin where the need is greatest and focus on the lowest performing schools. The bar for adequate school performance must be rigorous, achievable, targeted to all groups, and raised gradually.
No one should ask that all our goals be met overnight. These goals must be met over time. If, after 3 years, nothing changes for students in a failing school, their parents must be given other options, like a transfer to a better public school or private tutoring.
Now, it's well known I would have preferred those options to include funds to attend a private school. Many in Congress, unfortunately, disagreed. Yet, we all agree that schools which persistently fail must be radically restructured.
Some of my allies in reform want to require dramatically improved performance— immediately, everywhere. I appreciate aiming high, but setting impossible expectations means setting no expectations. The undoable never gets done. If we identify all schools as failures, we won't be able to focus on the greatest needs. If goals are unrealistic, teachers will become discouraged instead of challenged, harassed instead of inspired. By confronting the worst problems, we direct our energies and send a message of reform heard throughout the entire system.
Second, States must choose their own tests. But within a State, those tests must be comparable from place to place and year to year. Right now, a State and its districts can use different tests, and that's okay by me. But there has to be a way to compare the results of those tests to one another. If State accountability systems count easy tests from some districts and hard tests from others without a method to compare them, parents won't really know who's making progress and who's falling behind. Unless there's a fair and consistent measurement among schools, there can be no accountability.
Thirdly, we must have independent evidence that State tests are rigorous and State tests are real. Fortunately, we already have a proven way to get the independent evidence we need, the National Assessment of Educational Progress or the NAEP. NAEP is not new. Over 40 States now participate. It's not a national test, and we certainly don't need one. But we do need a national report card, and NAEP serves that purpose. We need an objective check on State accountability systems, so we need the NAEP for every State.
You know, not long ago, accountability was controversial. Today, the concept is widely shared. But to make a difference in the lives of children, it must be more than a concept. Accountability must be tough, yet realistic and workable. The Congress has some work to do before we reach that goal, and the time is running short.
We're now in August. In 35 days, school starts in New York City; 34 days, schools open in Oakland, California. In Kansas City, Missouri, children report for class in 26 days. Principals and teachers need to make their plans for changes that will come immediately and for changes that will come next year.
We're asking a lot of our schools and our teachers and our students. They have a big job ahead of them, and so do we, here in Washington. And now is the time, Congress, to get the job done.
Two years ago, when I spoke to the Urban League Conference in Houston, my reforms for America's schools were just a set of proposals. And now, these proposals are within weeks of becoming reality. I'm thanking the Urban League for your support, and I ask you to continue to work with Congress to make sure they become the law of the land. I ask you to join me in building a system of education worthy of all America's children, so that every child has a chance in life and not one single child, in the greatest land on the face of this Earth, is left behind.
Thank you all for having me, and may God bless America.

Gerald Ford
XXXVIII President of the United States: 1974 - 1977
238 - Remarks in Asheville, North Carolina.
March 20, 1976
THANK YOU very, very much, Governor Jim Holshouser, Wayne and Orville, and all of you wonderful people from Buncombe County in the mountain area. Gee, it is great to be here, and thank you for coming out.
You know the Ford family isn't a stranger to North Carolina. Let me give you a quick recitation. I went to law school at the University of North Carolina one summer, and for 9 months I was with the Navy preflight school down at Chapel Hill. Then my son, Mike, and his wonderful wife, Gail, graduated from Wake Forest.
But, in addition, during 27 years that I have been in public office in Washington, I visited, time after time after time, the great State of North Carolina, trying to help Republican congressional candidates or senatorial candidates or gubernatorial candidates, trying to help to get good government. And let me say one of the finest efforts that has ever been made--and I can't take credit for it, but I am sure proud of him--and that is Jim Holshouser, your great Governor.
Let me take just a minute and talk to you right from the shoulder, straight talk. This country needs some language that all of us can understand. What we need is somebody in public office who won't promise more than he can produce and produce everything that he promises.
Now, let me take a minute or two to review what we said we would do and what we have done. Let's take in the first instance the economy. Nineteen months ago when I became your President, we were going through inflation at 12 to 14 percent per year. We were on the brink of the worst recession in the last 40 years in this country. We were about to see unemployment soar and employment drop off precipitously. But instead of panicking, all of the American people knew that the right thing to do was to have a firm, steady, constructive course.
The American people didn't buy these quick fixes, these phony proposals that so many wanted to sell around the country, and the net result is that we are on our way in America to a new prosperity. Unemployment is going down, employment is going up, and the cost of living is getting under control.
Just yesterday we got some more good news out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The increase in the cost of living in February was one-tenth of 1 percent, the smallest increase in 4 years.
I can remember back in the spring when everybody was blaming me and the administration because we were in a recession. Well, we knew we would come out of it because the American people had a lot of courage and wisdom, and we knew we would come out of it because we had the right actions to take, and now that we are doing well and everything is improving, they don't want to give us any credit. But I think the voters will because they have more sense than some of those politicians who have been doing all of this talking.
But, you know, gee, last March and April when the clouds were covering the sky and there wasn't much sunshine, about every other day up on Capitol Hill we would hear of some quick-fix formula. They wanted to solve our problems by adding to the Federal payroll not a few, but millions, and they wanted to spend money like it grew on trees.
Well, those aren't the right answers. I call them budget busters, and in the process of trying to send to us down at the Oval Office some of these wild spending programs, I vetoed 46 of them. The Congress sustained 39 and, because I vetoed them, because we had enough people in the Congress who were voting fight, we saved the taxpayer $13 billion, and that ain't hay.
But there are also some people in Washington, and I guess around the country, a few who think that the way to do things better is to have the Federal bureaucracy grow and grow and grow; put more people on the Federal payroll to harass you on a day-by-day and a day-by-day basis. I don't agree with that. I think that is the wrong solution. And there is a very serious danger involved in that and, listen, because it is a very fundamental point. These people who want a bigger and bigger Federal bureaucracy and more and more control in the hands of a few all-powerful people never tell you what the ultimate is, and here it is: We should never forget that a government big enough to give us everything we want is a government big enough to take from us everything we have.
Let me talk for just a minute about something that is very fundamental, I think, to all Americans and something that I understand has a great significance in this wonderful part of North Carolina. There are some people in Washington, not myself, some of the so-called liberals, who want to make every person who is a lawful owner of a gun register the gun or register the gunowner. I am against it, period.
The way to handle that problem is to make sure that the penalty is strict and that the courts send the people who use a gun unlawfully in the commission of a crime--goes to jail and stays there.
Now, let's talk for just a minute about a couple of things that the Federal Government has to do, must do. Number one, we have some 32 or 33 million citizens in this great land who have reached the age of maturity. They are sometimes called senior citizens. They are wonderful, wonderful older people. Your mother and father, our parents, they brought us up. They have earned the right for an honest, good retirement.
Now, there are some people that want to destroy the social security system. I disagree. We want to make it stronger. We want to make certain, we want to make positive, that the Social Security Trust Fund is there for those who are on retirement and those who are about to retire. And this administration is going to demand it.
Now, there is one other area of responsibility that the Federal Government has under the Constitution; that is, the national security, the defense of this great country. Let me tell you--and I say it very firmly and very strongly-the United States of America today is second to none in military capability, and we are going to stay there. Oh, I know there are some critics who charged otherwise, but I don't really have much faith in those who downgrade America. I think we ought to speak up for America.
Let me say that the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines are well-equipped, well-trained, alert. They are on the perimeters, and they are doing a great job for us. We should support them, and we do. They are strong enough to deter aggression, they are strong enough to maintain the peace, and they are strong enough to protect our national security. They are great, and we should give them 100 percent support, as we do.
Now, let me talk for a minute, if I might--I understand there is a rodeo in town. Well, sometimes this job, you know, in the Oval Office reminds me a little bit of riding a bucking bronco. But let me tell you one thing--I am not going to get thrown. With your help and support, I will stay in the saddle for 4 more years. While I am there, I will be riding herd on that Congress to get them to do some things right for a change.
But, then, let me take just a minute to talk about this great election that is coming up in the State of North Carolina on Tuesday. Back around January everybody said Jerry Ford was through, he couldn't win the nomination, we were going to lose here, here, and here. What happened? We came from behind in New Hampshire, and we won. We won in Massachusetts overwhelmingly. We did very well in Vermont. We surprised them and beat them quite badly in Florida, and we walloped them in Illinois.
We have the momentum going, and we need your help on Tuesday to keep that momentum going so we can go to Kansas City and get the nomination, which will be the clincher for a victory on November 2.
Thank you very, very much.
Note: The President spoke at 4:12 p.m. at Asheville Mall. In his opening remarks, he referred to Wayne Montgomery, chairman of the Buncombe County President Ford Committee, and Orville Coward, chairman of the 11th Congressional District President Ford Committee.
Following his remarks, the President greeted President Ford Committee reception guests at the Asheville Mall movie theater.

Lyndon B. Johnson
XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969
526 - Statement by the President Following the Signing of Law Enforcement Assistance Bills.
September 22, 1965
THE CONTROL of crime is a major target of this administration.
The Great Society we are striving to build cannot become a reality unless we strike at the roots of crime, and strike again until we have brought it under our control.
We labor for that day when every man can satisfy his basic needs and those of his family; when every child has a chance to develop his mind and enlarge his spirit to the limits of his being; when the slow killers-want, ignorance, and prejudice--are finally contained.
But if we reach that day, and still walk in terror through the public streets, our labors will have been futile. The taste of affluence would soon sour with fear. The common criminal would come to dominate our affairs, as no malign power, foreign or domestic, has ever done.
No more bitter irony could be imagined than this--that a people so committed to the quest for human dignity should have to pursue that quest in trembling behind locked doors.
We are determined that this shall not happen.
Yet the crime rate continues to rise. Our parks are deserted. Our storekeepers weigh the dangers of arming themselves against the dangers of attack. Crime and violence in the suburbs increase even more rapidly than in the central cities.
Until every woman in this land can walk the streets of her city at night, unafraid and unharmed, then we have work to do in law enforcement.
Out of this conviction, I submitted last March to the Congress a message on law enforcement. Yesterday and today I have signed into law two important instruments in our search for better ways to insure the supremacy--not of fear but of the law.
One authorizes funds for the Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. That Commission has been appointed to evaluate the many elements and types of crime--and their causes.
Its mission is to delve into the alarm, the terror, the human and financial cost that makes up 20th century crime. Its purpose is to develop facts, and having done so, to translate facts into active programs that attack the springs of criminal behavior.
It will consider the problems of crime prevention; the needs of law enforcement; the tasks of administering criminal justice in our courts; the effectiveness of our systems of corrections and rehabilitation.
The members of the Commission are among our most dedicated citizens. They have already begun their momentous work. At their first meeting in Washington a weeks ago, they demonstrated their seriousness of purpose.
While the life of the Commission is 18 months, its Chairman, Attorney General Katzenbach, has reported to me that the members are determined to make specific proposals during the course of their work and expect to make the first such recommendation in a few months.
Our efforts against crime must not, however, be limited to developing long-range programs. We must also take prompt, direct action to halt the immediate suffering which lawlessness brings to our citizens. It is my devout hope that the Law Enforcement Assistance Act I have signed today will give us the means to accelerate the fight against crime now.
This act will make funds available to States, localities, and private organizations to improve methods of law enforcement, court administration, and prison operation. For years we have provided Federal assistance in the fields of housing, employment, mental health, education, transportation, and welfare. Because the anchor of society must be an abiding respect for law and order, it is appropriate that the Federal Government provide material aid to resist crime and promote the rule of law on the local level.
We are not dealing here in subsidies. The basic responsibility for dealing with local crime and criminals is, must be, and remains local. But the Federal Government can provide an infusion of ideas and support for research, for experiments, for new programs.
The policeman is the frontline soldier in our war against crime.
He bears a burden which increases each day. We must give him modern training, organization, and equipment if he is to succeed in saving our cities from the malignancy of crime. This is a major objective of the Law Enforcement Assistance Act.
We recognize that speedy justice is both an essential of fairness and a meaningful deterrent to crime; yet we have permitted our criminal courts to flounder in delay, lack of dignity, and the tortuous disposition of criminal cases. Swift, fair, and effective justice is an objective of the Law Enforcement Assistance Act.
We believe rehabilitation is indispensable if we are to break the cycle of crime by convicted offenders. Yet, too often, we offer only four walls of a prison containing no opportunity for learning a trade, maintaining family ties, or preparing to return to the community. Too often prisoners do not leave their confinement as law-abiding men. They leave, rather, as released criminals. Rehabilitation is an objective of the Law Enforcement Assistance Act.
These are necessary goals. But it is not enough to appoint a crime commission. It is not enough to sign a Law Enforcement Assistance Act. We must move forward with the same commitment and conviction we have given our attack on every other social evil that besets our people.
The local policemen, the local district attorneys, city and State judges can know this president will support them, without hesitation, in their efforts to fight crime in their towns.
I will not be satisfied until every woman and child in this Nation can walk any street, enjoy any park, drive on any highway, and live in any community at any time of the day or night without fear of being harmed.
I have directed the Attorney General of the United States to prepare a legislative program with this objective:
To strengthen the partnership of the Federal Government with our States and local communities in performing the first and most basic function of government--the preservation of law and order and the protection of every citizen.
Note: As enacted, the joint resolution to authorize funds for the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice and the President's Commission on Crime in the District of Columbia, approved September 21, is Public Law 89-196 (79 Stat. 827); the Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 1965, approved September 22, is Public Law 89-197 (79 Stat. 828).

Somewhere I wrote about that class reunion in 1994 that Lesa Jewell Withem organized for us and there was a document sent out to all of us before the event asking us some questions. One question was about our occupation and I wrote that my job title, accurate in my memory for what seems to be many years, was Field Engineer. I wrote that my favorite memory was of the speech Chad Trammell gave one year. I remembered that because we had to have our election candidate speeches reviewed by the high school staff after that incident. I can still visualize myself there in the classroom of one of the teachers as I read my speech to her before I delivered my speech later to my class.
This would seem more compelling if I could ilustrate with images from my class yearbook.

People ask why a time-machine has never been discovered but what if it never exists? If I am the time machine then this is the only possible evidence that I am capable of time-travel. Just me and the Spook School graduates.
A dream where I was afraid, the most intense sleeping dream I have ever had, because it seemed so real, of drowning and later after being awake for a while and thinking for several days I found myself here.
Anyway, this proves nothing about the future specifically. I might not ever even leave this place. I have to stay here for another 6 months at least and that's a long time. I want to leave today but that's nothing new for the past 9 years. 15 years in Seattle is more than enough. Nothing I find proves that I ever do leave.
To me it proves one crucial fact though. The fact seems to be that something is reflecting the thoughts in my mind. As though there is some kind of strange mirror somewhere. The mirror doesn't reflect light. The mirror reflects the patterns of my mind and that reflected pattern becomes awareness in my mind at the present time. The reflected pattern is from the future. I still believe that I will someday time-travel to the past and I have no conscious idea how I will actually accomplish that feat but somehow that mirror pattern I sense is the basis for making my time-travel excursion possible. Once I figure out how to control it then I can control time and space. It's already happened. I just have not done it yet here in this present time.
There are some details I want to document and details I want to tell someone about, just for no reason other than to just communicate something to somebody about my theories, and there are details here I don't want to publish in my public blog so I am sending this message across the wire.
You see, I am getting some crucial facts straight. You only have to read my public blog to see that. I get the location wrong but there is a strong pattern to the details I do get right. I wrote earlier about primitive people and light-reflecting mirrors and I think about how marvelous that probably seemed but in the end its purpose was simple. There was no magic to it. It just reflected light.

The Fat and the Furriest

Simpsons wiki
The Fat and the Furriest is the fifth episode of The Simpsons' fifteenth season. It originally aired November 30, 2003. The episode is about Homer fighting a bear.
Plot
On Mothers' Day, Homer buys Marge the same thing as Bart, so he goes to Sprawl-Mart, and he buys her a "Kitchen Carnival" on the advice of Patty and Selma, a machine that produces cotton candy, caramel and deep fried things. Eventually Homer uses it to make a giant ball of deep-fried, caramel-covered, cotton candy. The ball is much too big for the family to eat, and it gets dirty. Finally Marge insists Homer get rid of it. He takes it to the dump, and is confronted by a large, angry grizzly bear, from which he cowers. The bear eventually wanders off without attacking, apparently bored by Homer's crying.
Homer becomes a nervous wreck, hallucinating and seeing bears everywhere. To make things worse, a tape was made of him cowering from the bear, and his coworkers and Bart's friends make fun of him incessantly, finding Homers completely understandable fear of being mauled by a massive bear to be an act of cowardice. Grampa tells him to confront the bear, and Homer eventually does so, contacting a hunter named Grant. He then makes a suit of armor out of household junk. Ignoring Marge's requests that he not fight the bear, he sneaks out of the house, is joined by Bart, Lenny and Carl, and goes to fight the bear.
The four of them make camp in the woods. As his homemade armor is hot, Homer eventually takes it off and bathes in a stream, where he is again attacked by the bear. With Bart, Lenny and Carl dancing to the radio and paying no attention, the bear drags Homer to his cave. Homer discovers that the bear is only angry because of a painful electrical prod attached to his ear. In the mean time, Marge and Lisa have discovered Homer, Bart, and the suit of armor missing, and Lisa hires Grant to help track Homer down.
Freed of the electrical prod, the bear and Homer become friends; going through garbage (Homer, however, is the pig out of the two and the bear, repulsed by his manners, hands him a spoon), and going on friendly walks. Homer later decides to take the bear to a nearby wildlife refuge, but on the way, they are attacked by Grant and some other hunters with shotguns (including the Springfield redneck farmer). Homer dresses the bear up in his armor, which blocks the gunfire and allows the bear to reach the wildlife refuge, where he is promptly attacked by an elephant, but then fights back against him.

Cosmic age problem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cosmic age problem is a historical problem in astronomy concerning the age of the universe. The problem was that at various times in the 20th century, some objects in the universe were estimated to be older than the time elapsed since the Big Bang, as estimated from measurements of the expansion rate of the universe known as the Hubble constant, denoted H0. (This is more correctly called the Hubble parameter, since it generally varies with time).
Since around 1997–2003, the problem is believed to be solved by most cosmologists: modern measurements give an accurate age of the universe of 13.8 billion years, and recent age estimates for the oldest objects are either younger than this, or consistent allowing for measurement uncertainties.
Early years
Following theoretical developments of the Friedmann equations by Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaitre in the 1920s, and the discovery of the expanding universe by Edwin Hubble in 1929, it was immediately clear that tracing this expansion backwards in time predicts that the universe had almost zero size at a finite time in the past. This concept, initially known as the "Primeval Atom" by Lemaitre, was later elaborated into the modern Big Bang theory. If the universe had expanded at a constant rate in the past, the age of the universe now (i.e. the time since the Big Bang) is simply the inverse of the Hubble constant, often known as the Hubble time. For Big Bang models with zero cosmological constant and positive matter density, the actual age must be somewhat younger than this Hubble time; typically the age would be between 66% and 90% of the Hubble time, depending on the density of matter.
Hubble's early estimate of his constant was 550 km/s/Mpc, and the inverse of that is 1.8 billion years. It was believed by many geologists such as Arthur Holmes in the 1920s that the Earth was probably over 2 billion years old, but with large uncertainty.[citation needed] The possible discrepancy between the ages of the Earth and the universe was probably one motivation for the development of the Steady State theory in 1948 as an alternative to the Big Bang; in the (now obsolete) steady state theory, the universe is infinitely old and on average unchanging with time. The steady state theory postulated spontaneous creation of matter to keep the average density constant as the universe expands, and therefore most galaxies still have an age less than 1/H0. However, if H0 had been 550 km/s/Mpc, our Milky Way galaxy would be exceptionally large compared to most other galaxies, so it could well be much older than an average galaxy, therefore eliminating the age problem.
