Very interesting analysis. Thanks Ray. From what the user told us in
another message it seems that those three parameters are some sort of
cosmological constants so those quoted values must definitely have
uncertainties; with your result he can now explore the differences as he
changes parameters. For instance, the last parameter, .728, might
actually be in the interval from .727 to .729.
By the way, what's the meaning of that third term (0*(1+x)^2) ?
Could it be a typo in the original message?
Cheers,
