What is this, you ask? It is a photo of the oldest known light and primordial helium gas in the universe. With this discovery six different teams of scientists were able to determine that the universe is is 13.75 billion years old, give or take .11 billion years. The old bitch looks good for her age, I wouldn't have pegged her for a day over 12 billion.
Although these measurements were taken with state of the art techniques that will have large applications in explaining galaxies and measuring space stuff (caution: technical term) this info does conflict with one other major scientific text. See if you add up all the ages in the Bible, you find out the universe is only around 6,000 years old, give or take 6 days plus another day of rest. So I'm not sure how these scientists are going to reconcile the differences.
