Using that standard, the age of the universe is what it is.
Use a different standard, you get a different answer.
So what?
Jim:
No one can dispute your, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" argument.
That isn't my argument.
Anyone would be fool to throw away our present theories, equations, etc.
Nonsense.
Theories are constantly changed as better data is obtained.
Newtonian physics is good enough for designing bumper jacks but not
GPS systems.
However, your argument of, "I am only worried about what happens in my
backyard" would halt progress and advancement towards the real and
correct understanding of these things.
That isn't my argument.
But hey, if what we have right now is working, "Use it!" is my motto ...
Warmest regards,
JS
