I wonder what this will do with respect to estimates of the age of the universe.

You mean, such as being able to prove that the Earth is less than 6000 years old?

"You mean, such as being able to prove that the Earth is less than 6000 years old? "

No. Actually, I meant that if the universe isn't expanding as quickly as previously thought, perhaps the universe is MUCH older than the math currently indicates it is.

I'm not a mathematician, but you'd think that the "rate of expansion" would be a pretty important and significant variable.

What is your point or your agenda there JCB, no one knows how hold the Earth is.
