Observational study supports century-old theory that challenges the Big Bang (Phys)

Introduction LO: This article is interesting because it explains why scientists at the University of Ottawa (eg, Phys-2023) claimed in mid 2023 that our Universe is (at least) twice as old (ie, 26.7 billion years).

Growth refers to many different topics: body, brain, business, cancer, climate, economy, ethics, inflation, politics, population, and the Universe. We use many different adjectives to describe growth, like: absolute, actual, historical, marginal, projected, relative. A decline is even negative growth.
