Under four assumptions such that 1) Einstein's theory of gravity is correct, 2) existence of foliation by geodesic slicing, 3) the trace of the extrinsic curvature, $K$, is negative at the present time in observed region, that is, the observed universe is now expanding, 4) the strong energy condition is satisfied, we show that $H_{ v0} t_{ 0} \leq 1$, where $H_v \equiv - K/3$ agrees with the Hubble parameter in the case of a homogeneous and isotropic universe, and $t_0$ is the age of the Universe. If $H_{ v0} t_0 > 1$ is confirmed observationally, at least one of the four assumptions is incorrect.
