Abstract
A model of the universe is offered that can derive the Hubble Constant independent of empirical measurement, using just an estimate of the age of the universe and some simple arithmetic calculations. The JWST discoveries of apparent anomalous early galaxy formations are explained without need of substantial revisions to established astrophysical theories, as the new findings from JWST have seemed to require. Concepts of “Dark energy”, cosmic flatness, and the accelerating expansion of the universe are rendered unnecessary or mistaken.
