    Those are weird units indeed :
    (1 km /s) / 1 mega parsec =
    (1000 m/s)/(106 x 3.0857×1016 m) =
    1/3.0857×1019 seconds =
    1/978 x109 years.

    So, when we multiply by the rates (which are either 67 or 74) we get :
    1/ 14.6 giga years or
    1/ 13.2 giga years
    … basically ( 1/ “age of the universe”).

    Meaning physical observation disagree about the age of the universe …or the theory is faulty.
