New research puts age of universe at 26.7 billion years, nearly twice as old as previously believed

Our universe could be twice as old as current estimates, according to a new study that challenges the dominant cosmological model and sheds new light on the so-called "impossible early galaxy problem."

Is this related to the recent articles about how the "speed of the passing of time" has actually changed over time? Not sure if I understood all that correctly but I remember wondering if it was going to mess with carbon dating and estimates of the age of the universe
