No problem, WinterKnight.

From your article:

Researchers have identified a trio of galaxies embedded in a dust cloud located nearly 13 billion light years from Earth, placing them back in time to the Universe's beginnings.

How old is the universe??

Time??

Some physicists say it is younger, and older.
Just because we can't define it in everyday terms, we just throw up our hands and say who knows.

I thought we all agreed that the "Universe" was Space-Time plus maybe some extra dimensions that we can't yet "see". 95+% we can't see.
Maybe there is "Dark Time"?
There's a whole lot more we don't know than what we do.
Just don't invoke GOD to sweep all we don't know under the carpet.


Who agreed to the above??

Let's try a parallel universe this time. Just maybe they have Ben and Jerry's and it's non-fattening. Worth a shot.

To me it seems that you're just babbling Lynn.
It's generally agreed that our universe is defined by Space-Time with an impetus to integrating Quantum phenomenon.
Good luck on finding that Ben and Jerry non-fattening universe if that is what you are searching for.


Got to have an open mind sometimes regardless of whats realistic or not. Yeah I was sort of babbling on, oh well :)

We have dark matter and dark energy, wouldn't be surprised if there was dark time as well...
