minus-squareluxyr42@lemmy.dormedas.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 years agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_age_problem We estimate the age of some stars to be older than the estimated age of the universe. JWST observations have also made it “worse”. https://youtu.be/hps-HfpL1vc?si=H9tdTD3DJYLkalvx
minus-squareredballooon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoCan’t watch videos right now, but the wikipedia article says the problem has been solved around y2k by recalculating the age of the universe, and says nothing about JWST making this problem worse.

So one or more of the assumptions about how they could have formed or how they lost matter over time is wrong, right?
minus-squaredudinax@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoOr we have the age of the universe wrong.
