Has JWST shown the Universe is TWICE as old as we think?!
Dr. Becky・2 minutes read
The universe may be 26.7 billion years old according to Gupta's research, which challenges the current accepted age of 13.8 billion years, proposing a hybrid model to better fit JWST data with adjustments to physical constants. The study highlights discrepancies in the current Lambda CDM model, suggesting a crisis in cosmology and underscoring the importance of platforms like Brilliant for learning math and science concepts.
Insights
- Gupta's research proposes an older universe model, doubling the current age estimate to 26.7 billion years, aiming to reconcile discrepancies in current models and accommodate observations from the JWST.
- The study introduces a hybrid model combining expansion and tired light hypothesis, addressing issues with galaxy and black hole growth in the early universe, although it overlooks some established cosmological observations, sparking skepticism about its validity.
