New Cosmological Model Suggests Universe is 26.7 Billion Years Old, Twice Previous Estimates

A provocative new cosmological model proposes that the Universe could be 26.7 billion years old, significantly older than current estimates. Researchers at the University of Ottawa have tested this theory against several major astronomical observations, finding that it can explain phenomena such as galaxy rotation, cosmic expansion, and the formation of early elements, potentially without the need for dark matter or dark energy.
