Tony: I will say this. I have long held that our theories regarding space and the nature of creation in general were mistaken in major ways, particularly with the issues surrounding basic assumptions such as gravity. Because gravity would affect the red shift that they use to 'measure' the age of the CMB, it does bring it into question.

>David: Interesting point about gravity and the CMB. Surely they took that into account. So how old do you think the universe is, close to their estimate or not? Thanks for another interesting website.-Honestly, I have know idea. While it's age is, to me at least, not a settled issue, it really doesn't change anything for me. I just don't know how accurate they are. It does have some fairly major implications for other calculations though, such as the age of the Earth and the timeline of everything, but in the grand scheme of things, these issues have kind of taken a back burner for me. Their estimates could be spot on, for all I know. The problem with trying to take gravity into account is that they can't explain it, so they can't really account for its effects. They just make an assumption and roll with it.
