Of course it's 'controlled' what they want you to believe, and making sure everyone in

their 'community' sticks to that belief.

The trouble comes with the term 'age'. So: how do you measure age?

Actually we measure time in years, days and seconds, which are all based
on Earth' movements.

Since we cannot apply human Earth based measures on remote systems in
the sky, we had to invent a universal measure of time first.

IOW: how long is actually a second?

Well, one second lasts for one second...

(Somehow like that)

How is actually distance in space measured??

It is measured in light-seconds (-years and so forth).

Now we have to find a way to decide how long a meter is (other than by
means of seconds and/or light).

Anyhow..


Now we have light-years as means to measure distance in the universe and
years to measure time.

But WHAT do we actually measure (or: what do we call 'universe')?

In fact our universe is not universal at all. The reason is, that what
we call 'universe' is not real. It is a mere optical illusion, since
light travels with finite speed.

Therefore we call 'universe' what has a dependency on time, since
further away is longer ago.

What we should call 'universe' instead is (unfortunately) invisible.

Since we cannot measure invisible things, we measure things, which are
visible, though not existent any more.

That is at least slightly questionable.

It is even more profound than that, since units of time vary depending on the velocity and the strength of gravitational fields. Who can say what they were at the time of the Big Bang!
