Why the Universe May Be Older Than We Think | No Adverts

📚 I'm really excited to finally share this with you. Quantum Physics, Explained Clearly takes many of the ideas we've explored on the channel and gives them a little more room to breathe. It includes both the ebook and the full narrated audiobook. 🔗 https://www.thesleepyscientist.com/ The universe is usually said to be about 13.8 years old, but that number is not as simple as it sounds. It comes from ancient light, expanding space, galaxy measurements, stellar ages, and the standard model of cosmology, all carefully fitted together to build the best timeline science currently has. This relaxing deep-space journey explores why some discoveries make that timeline feel less settled at the edges, from the Hubble tension and the James Webb Space Telescope’s early galaxies to ancient stars, rapid black hole growth, cosmic reionisation, dark energy, and the deeper question of whether the hot Big Bang was truly the beginning. The universe may not be proven older, but its earliest history may be faster, stranger, and more mysterious than once imagined.
