The assumption of a constant expansion rate predicts the universe to be older than we observe.
What is constant expansion rate of universe?
Most recently, by comparing the apparent brightness of distant standard candles to the redshift of their host galaxies, the expansion rate of the universe has been measured to be H0 = 73.24 ± 1.74 (km/s)/Mpc.
An analysis of 13.5 thousand million-year-old X-rays, captured by ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, has shown that either the Universe may be older than astronomers had thought or that mysterious, undiscovered 'iron factories' litter the early Universe.
