Is Our Universe Really 26 Billion Years Old? The Joe Rogan Experience

How old is our Universe actually? Is it 13, 26, or 27 billion years old? I had the pleasure of discussing this fascinating topic with the one and only Joe Rogan. Enjoy this clip from The Joe Rogan Experience!

Joe is a good interviewer.
I like that he takes a lot of good scientists on his show.
He lets people talk and has good questions.

We’ve just got to stop thinking of the universe as being any sort of age and just look at it as how far back we can view it.

[Rahkvyo]

Dude said you can look at a 50 year old and tell their birthday within a week. I ain’t never heard nothin crazier

[Jdne]

if the Universe is 27 billion years old, the Fermi Paradox become way way more puzzling

[stickykitty]

2064: news flash the universe is 39 billions years old

2090: news flash the universe 45 billion years old


Etc etc etc etc

🤣

"The universe is 26 billion years old"
"Oh word? Source?"
"Trust me bro"

[oracleofpelham]

The problem people have with "scientists" is that they always spoke with certainty that the universe was 13 billion yrs old. "We think" is all they need to say

[donepearce]

Maybe our model of early galaxy formation is not correct. I think I would be looking at that in preference to doubling the age of the universe. Or rather, I would be wanting to study both.

[deltabravo]

Nobody knows how old the universe really is. We can only see as far as our telescopes allow us to see.

[eliflynn]

I love how people think they know everything. As a species we are wrong 99% of the time about everything but we think we're smart.

[retiefgregorovich]

I thought the man's theory that the universe was more likely 26 B rather than 13.8 Bil years old was that the newest detector, forgot what its name is, detected galaxies at the end of its range that were far too developed for the universe to be only 13.8 Bil years old.

The YT channel of Anton Petrov (Hello, Wonderful Person) has 1.2M subscribers, because he explains math, science, and complicated subjects in simple to understand words. He always uses the latest scientific papers in his talks.

Love how Dr Keating elaborates things in a simple form. Great clip.

[dangremaus]

I’ve asked this same question. 1) Considering the cosmic web of galaxies and 2) The complexities of the galaxies themselves, I think that took a lot more time to arrive at this point.

[gidtv]

I always thought 13 billion was to low

[terreJackson]

Horrible analogy. A better analogy would be you have a forest and find out just a few trees are actually older then the forrest. That means either the forest is older or there was another forest not that the trees are anomalies

[Madosatoshist]

We can only see the visible universe, not before it was opaque.
The 13.8 Bil years old is derived by reversing the observed extension of the universe, we reach a point where all matter must have been compacted into a single point. But we don't really know why it started expanding.

[sgolan]

Aren't we now fairly certain the speed of light isn't constant, which makes estimations of the age of the universe based on light completely unreliable

[jamie]

Every time we develop ways to see further, we find more and adjust the age of the universe upward. Why would we ever assume we have figured out the age of a yet undiscovered endless universe? At best we should say "with what we currently know, we believe the age to be X."

[underSTATEDexcellence]

James Webb has proved the 13 Billion is far too low of an estimate.
