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

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.

"... 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.

For what it's worth, the age of the universe during Einstein's time was 1.5 billion years. Now it is ten times that.
