Stars Older Than the Universe...hmmm
I'm sure there is a very logical explanation for how a star could be older than the universe:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2017/09/07/the-greatest-cosmic-puzzle-astronomers-find-stars-that-appear-older-than-the-universe/#d8ad4153c445 - Inaccurate sensors - Ageing a star is based on metal content means less metal = older star, maybe aliens harvested the metals? - Bad Math(s) - We really have no clue |
Posit #1: We understand the age of the Universe very well, to a fraction of a percent
Posit #2: We understand the age of stars very well, to a fraction of a percent Posit #3: We find a star that appears to be older than the Universe Bad, media drive science: Therefore, we must be failing at understanding the age of the Universe and/or the age of stars, because Posit #3 must be more robust than Posit #1 or #2. Good, real science: Therefore, we need to determine what happened to this star that makes it appear to be the wrong age, because a century of effort has shored up Posits #1 and #2 so well that they are all but a Law of Nature. |
I have a theory...a hem.
It's mine and nobody else can have it...ahem And that theory is... a hem Older stars are from the little bang that eventually set off the big bang. This theory belongs to me, it's mine and nobody else can have it. |
Some cool food for thought - Thanks again 'Doc'
Cheers JB |
