I'm not saying it couldn't be the case that the universe is older than we thought. Any knowledge we have is subject to new evidence, and that's of course the power of science. Always questioning itself, always adding to the corpus of knowledge. But for me it would take more than supposition or the possibility of an older universe to say "We just don't know". There are multiple pieces of strong evidence to support the 13.8 billion year age...at this point. I think we need more to overturn the current model.

This resonates for me, from the linked article:



Incredibly interesting topic. I'll never stop being amazed by the enormity of time and space. Just incomprehensible in any real sense. Truly "awesome".

Thanks I will read it
