We saw earlier three estimates for the age of the Universe. They can be written as:
- Estimate one: 92*10*11*13*29*212 years, which is 13,758,750,720 years.
- Estimate two: 11*132*29*256*1000 years, which is 11*132*29*256 kiloyears, which is 13,801,216 kiloyears.
- Estimate three: 292*214 kiloyears, which is 13,778,944 kiloyears.
The experimental value of the age of the Universe was updated on September 24, 2015.
The first estimate now seems to be ruled out by the narrowing value, currently 13.799 ± 0.021 billion years. The third estimate has theoretical advantages, and it is still possible, but it is the second estimate, best written as 132*162*29*11K years, where the experimental value likely seems to go.
It is exhilarating. It is frightening.
