NEW YORK (AP) =97 Astronomers have reported seeing stars that are=
seemingly
older than the universe=20
itself =97 a nonsensical notion that suggests that one of the fundamental
assumptions used to calculate the=20
age of the cosmos is flawed
The scientists calculated stars in a certain galaxy to be 1 billion to 1.5
billion years older than the universe=20
itself, said researcher James Dunlop.
Of course, it=92s impossible for the universe to be younger than any of its
stars [well, duh! - CW]. The=20
discrepancy represents yet another challenge to the standard theory of the
universe.
