New research puts age of universe at 26.7 billion years, nearly twice as old as previously believed

[AshWar]

It’s not new earth shattering research, just a click bait headline about one journal paper


But of course Rogan bros don’t care

are you a physicist?

[seeker477]

Imagine believing humans know how old the universe is

[Ken-O]

That doesn’t make sense. What existed before the universe then?

This is a conversation that the human brain simply shouldn’t engage in. It’s not capable of it .

based

[Girthquake505]

I only have a masters in applied fluids


But I forgot, Rogan’s got a PhD in astrophysics. And all his taintlickers are published researchers

I don't like Rogan either, but why are you so mad?

[AshWar]

You’re right, I’m sorry op

[jackflag]

lol

how the FUK could they know this

human hubris is nuts

[reinsdorfsucks]

my trusting of the science has nearly doubled

Nothing existed because time didn’t exist brotato.

[OnlyHope]

While scientific evidence does have a higher standing than religious 'evidence' - it's still something which we know isn't 100% true and could change at any moment based on new data. We will never truly know the truth and yet alone understand such a profound concept. If we discover it's actually a trillion years old, how will that change your life in anyway lmao.

[dabbmw2002]

Lmao if you think anyone really knows. Fuk outta here. Just need the universe to last another 40, 50 years if Im lucky.

[MiscMathematician]

age of the universe changed in 2012

These.

And this.

Lol right.

[iabs]

This is why I laugh when humans speak with certainty about matters of the universe , including aliens.

In short, we know fuk all and to assume with know anything of significance with certainty is simply laughable.

[Ausaric]

If we had a telescope 1000x bigger than Webb, would we suddenly discover that the universe is actually 1 trillion years old?

We literally don’t know fuk-all. Our math describes how stuff behaves in the sizes and time scales we can currently measure, but to think that encompasses the entire range of size and time that exists is ludicrous.

We probably only perceive an infinitesimal small sliver of reality. How full of hubris is man? We’re one step away from apes banging rocks together…our greatest technology is mere tinker toys…boyos this universe is stranger than we could ever imagine, or probably would ever want to.

Lmao this

It's like chimps trying to understand quantum mechanics

[GaryCarnivals]

why did nature give us consciousness if it didn't want it to understand the world around it?

[Paul Kreul]

my trusting of the science has nearly doubled

Sarcasm?

[Paul Kreul]

God gave you consciousness, not nature.

[Mercworx]

This


Just LOL. Some ******* is going to say they measured XYZ with some fake mechanism they made up.

[BrianDaMan]

it's actually 350 gorillion years old #TrustTheScience

[moosik85]

Pretty much anything to do with space and physics is a “theory” aka a guesstimate

[Ausaric]

My guess is so we could suffer

[outfoxxed]

crazy that joe rogan is here making discoveries on the age of the universe while simultaneously hosting the most popular podcast in the world

[Schnitzl]

Pretty much anything to do with space and physics is a “theory” aka a guesstimate

Of course but it's a calculated guesstimate unlike what some miscers like to dumb it down to as "hurr durr nobody knows univurs lulz". It's collecting data, observing changes over time and a million other things.

Google says they estimate the age mostly by measuring radiation from the oldest stars and use the rate of expansion to extrapolate backwards

Like how light we see coming from stars is actually of things that happened years ago depending on how many light years away they are, we can see certain things as they were actually millions/billions of years ago

What blows my mind is that we can only “see” the observable universe. There is more beyond what we can observe, but can’t see it because it is expanding away from us faster than the speed of light.

The actual universe could be infinitely large. And if it is infinitely large, there’s an exact copy of you somewhere reading this exact post.
