Telling Ages????

Well a few weeks ago Double-A asked me how old my wife was?. I felt that
was her mystery(secret) Girls don't give out their real age. What does
this have to do with astronomy? Well the universe hides her age very
well. Telling the universes age has to go with how much it expanded
since the BB. Read the Hubble space telescope was used to examine the
behavior of "Cepheid variables. What they showed was the universe could
be younger than 10 billion years old(sounds like those girls that lie
and end up with mothers 5 years old) I relate that to "white Dwarf stars
that are as old as 15 billion years,and some Globular clusters much old
still. Mother nature"s age has to be her best held secret. I
know she does not like my saying "The universe our solar system is
immersed in had a big bang that took place 22 billion years ago
Bert PS I can lie about my age(I don't) because those Mexican sweet
potatoes push me back to prime time PPS Einstein was right space and
time is all organic life has,and it is curved.

Well Bert, I must say that at least your age for the universe is
consistent with those other objects which do seem to be older than the
currently stated 13.7 billion year age. As far as I know, those
disparities have not been reconciled by mainstream science.

You still have my sincerest hopes that your wife will recover soon from
her illness, whatever her age.

Bert, I liken today's cosmologist on Earth to the carnival side-show
age-guesser.
Of course, some of those "carnys" are pretty good at telling ages! gg

Hey all, just a pointer to say check out the thread "phase one for contact".
Seems bad news may be a' brewing. Yubiwan has recently posted something
unsettling, and our alien friends may be permanently departing because of
some humongous screw up that happened here while Pom was visiting. You may
want to get the Galactic Council together on this one...

Could it be that a faux pas was committed? Perhaps at that shipboard
party?

Not invited to sit at the Captain's table?

Something culturally offensive on the seafood tray?

Or perhaps our lovely guests didn't know how to handle sailors! Ha!
Ha!

I am getting more and more confused every day. It was my understanding that
out observable universe is about 13-15 billion light years, but taking
expansion in to consideration, the actual universe is probably closer to 46
billion.

Are there actual agreed upon beliefs about these numbers?

Hi Double-A and BV My wife (Ruth) had a stroke and as you might
remember an oxygen machine was delivered free "I called it R2 D2 (like
the robot in Star Wars. Ruth smoked over two packets of "KOOL"
cigarettes a day for 35 years. Today she left the hospital to go into a
rehab center. She can't walk.(To weak) and is on oxygen 24 hours. Still
pretty sharp. Still introduces me to the Drs, and nurses as her "crazy
husband" that shoots stems of of wine glasses in the garage (They think
I'm a sharp shooter)
Now for astronomy lets go with gravitational lensing for judging
distance of a galaxy that is in back of another. Without that front
galaxy the one in back of it would not have light intense enough for us
to observe it. Astronomers now should look for strong
gravity(concentration of mass in small areas) that is curving light from
objects behind them into our line of view. It is gravity that will
give the best probable age of the universe. It is gravity that will
reveal hidden dimensions. It is gravity that will prove there are as
many universes as flakes of snow in an endless storm. It is gravity that
will prove there is not a proton differed from one universe to the
other.(all perfectly clone from the beginning by gravity,and only their
age is different,and gravity will evolve all it created in the same
length of time that they will have a spacetime that is exactly like our
universe of"NOW" is(some day). It could not be any other way unless you
just want to fantasies different make believe realities. It is one
gravity all the way down Bert

So glad to hear your wife is improving.

Hope she can come back home soon.
