“AGE OF UNIVERSE”

The WMAP satellite today has measured the echo of the big bang itself to give us the most authoritative age of the universe. The WMAP data reveals that the universe was born in a fiery explosion that took place 13.7 billion years ago.

(over the years, one of the most embarrassing facts plaguing cosmology has been that the age of the universe was often computed to be younger than the age of planets and stars, due to faulty data. Previous estimates for the age of the universe were as low as !-2 billion years, which contradicted the age of earth [4.5 billion years] and the oldest stars [12 billion years] !!!!!!!!
