Age of Universe Edges Closer to Officer Bert's Prediction!
The "official" mainstream age of the universe has been edging ever closer to the 22 billion year age predicted all along by our Officer Bert! The officially accepted age of the universe a few years ago, based on the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), was 13.7 billion years. Then in 2004, further observations caused scientists to extent its age to 14.7 billion years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3732157.stm Now in 2006, we have this: "Even though the local neighborhood of planets shrank to eight, the big picture -- the size and age of the universe -- increased by as much as 15 percent, according to a paper co-authored by an associate professor of astronomy at Ohio State. The astronomers invented what they said was a more accurate and simpler way to measure intergalactic distances. "The age of the universe is related to how big the universe is," said Kris Stanek, who co- authored the study to more precisely determine the Hubble constant, a central tool astronomers use to calculate the cosmic expanse. "If the universe is bigger, it had to take longer to become that big. Two billion extra years makes a huge difference for people who worry about these things."" http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbc...612270373/1007 Wow! An official age now of nearly 17 billion years! Only 5 billion more years to go until they prove you right, Bert! Double-A |

Double-A thanks I needed that bad(been flamed). I have added up like
counting rings that make onions . Each ring being a spacetime event. So my 22 billion year age for our universe was based on more than a guess. Reality is now that I'm older and more knowledgeable I would add 5 billion more years. Go figu8ure Bert PS that would mean 22 billion years ago our Sun,and its solar system came into being and 5 billion years to "now" |

nightbat and Double-A The size of the universe is mother natures great
mysteries. Astronomers have said if the universe is over 25 billion LY they would consider it infinite. Now we are realizing how much more that there is of the universe than meets the eye. It goes like this Dark energy 65% Dark matter 30% Ordinary matter 5% We are measuring Stars,planets and all other visible matter,and they are only 5% of all that makes up our universe. Go figu8re Bert PS I only add up spacetime major events to come up with 22 billion years |

Only 5 billion more years to go until they prove you right, Bert! Double-A We might be able to get the age of the Universe to Bert's figure by a little reasoning, AA... First, let's accept a couple of things -- that it took nearly 17 billion years for the light from an object to reach Earth, and that the object is being accelerated away from Earth by the expansion of space. Since we are seeing the object where it was long ago, it follows that the object is somewhere else, even farther away from Earth, at the present time. We can call the 17 billion years the "optical age" of the Universe. If we then invent a term: the "material age" of the Universe, mustn't this material age be a bit longer? perhaps even as much as 5 billion years longer? It may be awhile before science catches up with my own prediction. For a long time now, i've believed that the Universe is at least 75-85 billion years old. It's the same principle working, too. If the object was where we see it 17 billion years ago, I just reverse the above process and wonder where the object must have been 18 billion years ago, 20 billion years ago, even 30 billion years ago. I feel it won't be long until science will once again roll around to accepting an infinite age for the ever- changing and spectacular Universe! -- For your tee-shirt: ASTRONOMERS ARE THE GREAT LOVERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Panics Well optical age orf the universe is tricky at best. BB gave off
gamma photons first. I now added to the creation of all that is a timelaps that took place in the micro sub-particle realm of the micro universe(macro universe gases Hydrogen and helium not created yet) having internal shock waves that lasted 9 billion years. This was a spacetime without Relativity. Lots of chaos. God was rolling dice. Just going back close to our local group(Local Superclusters) Than to our Milky Way,and now to our Solar system here Panius you see three timelapses. We know the solar system is 5 billion years old. Lets say the Milky way with all its stars,and being 100,000 light years across(how much time to create that?) Best to keep in mind Andromeda is part of the local group,and also other smaller galaxies,All this took lots of spacetime. Each star is a spacetime event. 33 billion could be closer than 22 billion. Best to keep in mind nature uses time as if it is infinite like space. Bert |

And Puddleduck, inflation accounts for how many years of the Universe's existence? Or are you equating inflation with the accelerated expansion? The older age i propose is based upon the present rate of expansion being well below c, and that the rate of expansion has been well below c for some time now. Is this not correct? And if the Universe has expanded to a radius of 17 billion light years in 17 billion years, would this mean that its mean velocity of expansion over the 17 billion years is c? Guth would thank you, Puddleduck! When do we get to call you "Doc"? -- For your tee-shirt: ASTRONOMERS ARE THE GREAT LOVERS OF THE UNIVERSE!
