Default Universe Might be Bigger and Older than Expected

Current estimates are it is 13.7B yo, and 156B ly in diameter. New
estimates would make it 15.8B yo, and 180B ly in diameter.

This is probably the first steps to totally dismantling existing
theories and admit that we know nothing because we can only see a
fraction of the universe as it is.
