13.85B...

But... they’ve found “Methuselah stars” that are approaching 15B years old...

And now super-massive galaxies that are far too complex and far too old to fit the current “big bang” BS...

Anything older than 15 billion and we will need new technology to be able to see that far back in time. The Red Shift would be so massive as to put the light frequencies to below ‘near infrared’ levels we are using now.................

From BRAVE AI:

HD 140283

metal-poor subgiant star

The Methuselah star, officially designated as HD 140283, is a metal-poor subgiant star located approximately 200.5 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Libra. Here are some key facts about this ancient star:

Age:

Initially estimated to be around 14.46 billion years old, making it older than the universe’s estimated age of 13.77 billion years. However, more recent models of its stellar evolution have revised its age to around 12 billion years, which is still remarkably old.

Metallicity:

The star has very low metallicity, indicating it likely formed from the remnants of the first generation of stars, which would have formed early in the universe’s history.

Spectral Type:

sdF3, classified as a chemically peculiar star.

Apparent Magnitude:

7.205, making it visible with binoculars.

Distance:

200.5 light-years from Earth.

Constellation:

Libra, near the boundary with Ophiuchus.

Proper Motion:

-1114.93000 ± 0.68000 milliarcseconds/year (right ascension) and -304.36000 ± 0.46000 milliarcseconds/year (declination).

The Methuselah star is one of the oldest known stars in the Milky Way galaxy, providing valuable insights into the early formation and evolution of our galaxy. Its age and metallicity make it a unique object of study for astronomers, offering a glimpse into the distant past of our cosmic neighborhood.

There’s not enough lithium to fit the BB theory. Oh, and there should be identical amounts of matter and antimatter. A deep dive will turn up a lot more anomalies the torpedo the theory.

The one thing they never address is where the laws came from to allow all this to occur? In other words, why is there anything at all? Hint: thought is senior to matter.
