We have reanalyzed the age of the universe problem under the assumption that the lower limit on the age of the globular clusters is ∼11 Gyr, as predicted by the recent Hipparcos data. We find that the globular cluster and the expansion ages in a standard l=0 universe are consistent only if the present value H₀ of the Hubble constant is …
