minus-squareluxyr42@lemmy.dormedas.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year 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-up5·1 year 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.
minus-squarerbesfe@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year ago Since around 1997–2003, the problem is believed to have been solved by most cosmologists
minus-squareflying_sheep@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoIIRC, they’re too big to have formed in one of the ways we know and then continuously lost matter at the the rate they should have. 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-up1·1 year agoOr we have the age of the universe wrong.
minus-squareDokPsy@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoNope. Older than the universe. Can’t weasel your way out of this one science boy
