Thanks. Very interesting! However, the article says “What you’re seeing is proof that some 20 billion years ago . . .”

I thought the universe was supposed to be about 14 billion years old.

It’s hard enough to imagine even One Billion years, let alone 14 or 20.
I suppose we’ll need to trust the science. Not as obvious as rings on a tree. I have to think such speculation is just that, an educated guess based on presumption.

I think the 14.8 billion year estimate is based on the fact that 14.8 bil is as far as we can currently see with current technology. Our universe could be considerably older.

Exactly....something doesn’t add up, or they need an editor.
