The age of the Universe in the {\Lambda }CDM cosmology with {\Omega }_{matter}=0.26 and {\Omega }_{{\Lambda }}=0.74 is the same as in the Milne cosmology which corresponds to an almost empty universe. In both cases it is a reciprocal Hubble constant, 1/H₀, that for now preferred value H₀=71 km/s/Mpc is 13.7 billion years. The most curious coincidence is that at the present time, in the {\Lambda }CDM model the decelerated expansion is exactly compensated by the accelerated expansion, as if the Universe coast for 13.7 billion years.
