Saint in Paradise Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 No I don't mean an old person on TV but this:- A long-known star in the relative proximity to the Solar System is the oldest among the billions humanity has studied. Formed shortly after the Big Bang, it’s now at least astounding 13.2 billion years old. Bond and his team calculated that the star is 13.9 billion years old. This actually places it beyond the time that the universe exists. The current estimate is that the Big Bang happened some 13.77 billion years ago. This is explained by an experimental error, which may be as large as 700 million years. So the star is at least 13.2 billion years old and may be several hundred million years older than that. http://rt.com/news/oldest-star-universe-discovery-889/ .
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I know how it feels. Interesting, thanks for that.
Ohio Saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I hope there is a toilet nearby. Anything that old should never be too far away from a toilet.
dronskisaint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I thought it was going to be about Kanu....
Dangermouth Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 So that puts us close to the centre of the universe then.
Trader Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 So that puts us close to the centre of the universe then. The centre of the universe is everywhere, as all cosmologists know. If you don't understand this simple fact - join the club.
