20 billion years ago? Probably 20 billion light years... although it's not unlikely that the nitwit who wrote the article is another left wing success story.
The size and age of the universe seem to not agree with one another. Astronomers have determined that the universe is nearly 14 billion years old and yet its diameter is 92 billion light years across. How can both of those numbers possibly be true? In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln tells you how.
If the universe is only 14 billion years old,
how can it be 92 billion light years wide?

I have to agree with you on the age of the universe. Not having been there at the beginning, and not being good at math, well, I’ll just have to let wiser minds prevail.
