Almost as old as Biden or Sanders
The star “cluster” may be that old, but wouldn’t any actual stars be less than that old (or at least just about burned out by now)?
More mumbo jumbo space crap. Centuries ago and millenniums away.
And yet a deep sea sub can implode in 1 millisecond.
Heck yeah! Never adjust your weak assumptions; keep them. Just move the goalpost.
Notice how they keep “moving the goalposts”—making the universe older and older.
It is getting older faster than I am...
;-)
What a coincidence! Our galaxy just happens to be at the center of the expanding universe!
Didn’t we make this mistake once before?

How could something as old as the universe be so close to us? Was Hubbles idea incomplete? How much, presented as fact, is not?
Waiting for De Grasse Tyson, Dawkins, Krauss, Greene, Nye to explain this.
The big bang was the installation procedure for spacetime, which is a construct. Rather than the beginning of everything. Spacetime does not emerge unbidden from quantum particle physics any more than does a football stadium. Both are possible, of course, but only as a result of intelligence and intention.
If the canvas of spacetime is constructed, it follows that everything painted onto spacetime is likewise. Space, energy, time, matter, us.
“The Hubble tension itself is a really challenging nut to crack,” Freedman says. This measurement alone isn’t precise enough to settle the debate. But “the more kinds of constraints we have, the better,” she says. “It’s showing a way for the future.”I'm just gonna let that one percolate on its own...
