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."

You're viewing a single thread.
I'm gonna need more than a single study making such a claim to consider it accurate. There's plenty of one-off studies that make major claims and then nothing ever came about from it when closer scrutiny was applied by the scientific community.
Yes this is the correct response. The standard model is the standard model because it’s stood the test of decades of challenges. One paper does not topple this.
EDIT: also note, the early galaxy formation challenges are interesting but don’t require a revision of the cosmological model. The data is new and many of these results will be revised into the “less spectacular” bin (this is already happening).
