Like it says: "... the universe could be 15 percent bigger and 15 percent older than any previous calculations suggested."

You know why this is... its global warming causing the universe to expand and... I think this President's administration is behind it but no one was available to leak it to the NY Times yet....developing ;)

"... and Leon's getting larger!!"
To: PatrickHenry
Interesting. Science changes as new information is found. What a novel idea....oh, wait, thus has it always been.

In two years, the universe will be older still, and they will have to start over.

So if the universe expands, wouldn't that create universal cooling?

I have a naive question : ) If by Universe they mean everything outside our Galaxy how could it possibly be defined by size? Are they only speaking of the portion of the Universe that we can either see or measure from Earth or by other means? I've always considered the universe to be infinite. Am I missing something?

getting all the necessary measurements to repeat the calculation would probably take at least another two years.
Job security.

Science is an intellectual dead end. It's a lot of little guys in tweed suits cutting up frogs on foundation grants.
To: PatrickHenry
"... the universe could be 15 percent bigger and 15 percent older than any previous calculations suggested." Yes, just plug new constants in the model whenever you have a problem.
If it could have been off that much, it could be off by 100% or 1000000% or whatever. The fact is, we don't know how big the universe is or even if it is infinite.
To: Toby06
I think the boundary conditions need to be considered.
