"Every cosmologist and astronomer agrees: our Universe is 13.7 billion years old. Using cutting-edge technology, scientists are now able to take a snapshot of the Universe a mere heartbeat after its birth. "
That seems rather young, doesn't it? If our planet is supposed to be around 4 billion yrs old, it doesn't seem to fit with what we see 'out there', the novas, galaxies, nebulae etc.
The UB gives us a few hints here and there and it might be fun to look at what some early readers came up with.
Anyone interested?
