@lowqualityfacts Fake news: the universe is recreated from scratch every thursday.
@lowqualityfacts but that’s almost as old as the earth. space is crazy
@KlingonHipster @lowqualityfacts don't exaggerate, their grandma isn't almost as old as earth
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."

@lowqualityfacts However, the universe looks so good that a lot of people thought it was born yesterday.

@lowqualityfacts

That's better than 6,000 years old, but I'm pretty sure the average voter's brain turns to mush when it comes to the difference between "million" and "billion".

@lowqualityfacts , this seems reasonable, what did I miss?
@lowqualityfacts I like to think of it as being 12 million years young.
