    It used to be 13.7 billion years± a big margin that got narrowed down to 13.8± a smaller margin. Not seeing that changing unless there’s something seriously wrong with the previous research.

      Narrowing it based on what we can measure doesn’t mean it’s correct.

      The deeper we have stared into the universe the more our base understandings have challenged.
