Default How Old is our Universe?

The WMAP data is as good as it gets right now.



The universe is composed of:
4% ordinary baryonic matter
22% an unknown type of dark matter, which does not emit or absorb
light.
74% a mysterious dark energy, which acts to accelerate expansion.

4% known, and 96% unknown? Yes, that is how good as it gets for your
pathetic little brain.


But, not knowing what it is is not the same as not knowing what it does.
Observations will likely reduce the lack of knowledge of what dark
energy and dark matter are. That and more logical thinking than what
you are capable of demonstrating.
