Default Galactic fossil is 13.2 billion years old

"Galactic fossil is 13.2 billion years old

ABC Science Online
Monday, 14 May 2007

Astronomers say a star in our galaxy is 13.2 billion years old, which
makes it nearly as ancient as the universe itself.

The star, named HE 1523-0901, would have formed almost at the dawn of
time, just a fraction after the birth of the universe 13.7 billion
years ago."

Hmmm.

Double-A What if we find a lot of White Dwarfs that are only half way
in their life time of using up their residual heat? That would ,make
them 50 billion years old. Hmmm That kills my idea that the universe
is 22 billion years old. bert

That would, but they haven't found any yet.

Double-A A fossil of 13.2 billion years begs the question. How long did
it take gravity to evolve this fossil starting with its first atoms,and
molecules? when the imperial thinkers start taking in all the time to
create all things they will come to the conclusion that 22 billion years
makes for very young universes. bert

Bert, stars in globular clusters were long thought to be over 15
billion years old. Now they have tried to reduce those estimates to
conform to the overall age of the universe estimate. But maybe they
were right in the first place.

Double-A Just one spacetime when neutrons were created long after the
BB begs the question. How long did it take them to create all the
hydrogen?,and why was it not homogenized evenly through out space.and
make just one galaxy of 6 trillion stars? That would make more sense
than billions of separate galaxies spread out further than our most
powerful telescopes can see. bert

Quantum uncertainties in the primal atom?

Double-A What exactly is a primal atom? How does the uncertainty
principle help solve no homogenization? bert

I was referring to the universe when it was still no larger than an
atom. Quantum uncertainties and fluctuations would exist in something
so small. Then when it is suddenly blown up into something very
large, those quantum fluctuations might become frozen into the density
differences we see in the universe today: some places strings of
galaxies, some places empty space.

Double-A Spaces intrinsic energy had an infinite area before it was
compressed into an area the size of a pea(BB). Atoms did not form at
this spacetime. Atoms formed much latter when great heat was diluted
into space. At this time of creation great certainty was in order.to
fine tune the force of gravity to fine tune the strong force to fine
tune EM Left to chance the universe would have cancelled itself out
into radiation. bert
