N2 - The Hubble constant enters big bang cosmology by quantifying the expansion rate of the universe. Existing statisticalmethods used to estimate Hubble’s constant only partially take into account random measurement errors. Asa consequence, estimates of Hubble’s constant are statistically inconsistent and systematically too low. Using thesimplest of the existing methods to illustrate the problem, we show that the change in estimate is 1.2%. The moreadvanced techniques suffer from the same deficiency
