No, the universe is eternal. In other words it has always existed and always will. There is no beginning and no end. The universe being 14 billion years old is an old estimation based on the Big Bang theory, which has been proved wrong again and again but saved with various ad hoc modifications such as dark matter and energy.

Your high priests have made that data off limits to anyone but themselves. They don't seem to care that everyone else had to bear the $20 billion cost of creating the thing, the telescope is now the private property of your ivory tower priests.

I believe this is the answer. There's also other methods of finding the age but they're less accurate, like the age of the oldest known star which is a bit over 13b years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_140283
The age of the universe is more just the age since the big bang and doesn't assume anything before that. It's not assumed there was nothing and then something for example, it just starts from a dense point that suddenly expanded, but that dense point could have been there forever

Are you talking about that one guy who has a blog about why he didn't like the big bang? The big bang isn't just a guess, it's one possible solution and it actually mathematically explains the data like the CMB. You can say the big bang didn't happen if you want but it has to be backed up with an alternative theory that mathematically explains the CMB, like how parts of the universe that are huge distances apart have the same temperature, and the matter distribution in the universe etc. The big bang theory and inflation mathematically explain those things

That is why cosmologists distinguish between comoving distance and proper distance. When they say that the age of the universe 13.8b years old it is in the frame of a comoving observer which is essentially that of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. iirc the difference when measured from Earth's frame of reference is ~400k years so doesn't really change the answer.

Showing your ingorance again. Early galaxies are less massive, physically smaller, form stars faster and have much less heavy elements than modern galaxies. Lower metallicity is particularly powerful as it doesn't depend on any assumptions about distance or cosmology. JWST had confirmed that most of the objects studied thus far have about 1/10th the heavy elements of modern galaxies. Galaxy evolution is observed and that is incompatible with anyone claiming the universe is eternal, static or unchanging.

Time is like a wave form. ”This present moment” have happened before and will happen again.

There is no beginning and no end. What is now has always been and will be again. What we perceive as ”the present moment” is simply our point on the wave form.

We perceive this moment as present because we are stuck at this point on the wave form. But of course there are infinite points on the wave form.

So to answer your question no, yes in a sense infinite time must have passed to reach this point because that is the very nature of time.

The world is predetermined and works like a clock. From 12 to 12. The clock never stops, never jumps from 12 to 2 without passing 1. Whatever happens is just ”fate”.

Universe is infinitely "deep", i.e. scale is the 5th dimension. Light "leaks" into lower scale which is also why red shift happens, i.e. energy loss of photons. Radiation emanating from that infinite depth is detected as CMB.

Time is not fundamentally real. Only relative motion is real. The very concept of beginnings and endings is a projection of the human ego.

This right here is your real hangup. I don't know if you are even educated to understand why this concept terrifies you, but I'll tell you.

The Catholic Inquisition executed Giordano Bruno over eternal universe theory and have not apologized to this day, making it heresy to this day. According to the world's largest academic network, and private land owner, an eternal universe is one of the only remaining heresies. In fact Brubo's Inquisitor was Sainted in 1920 and Big Bang theory was developed by a Catholic priest as a direct reaction to the "atheist" steady state model which was too close to Bruno's heresy.

The false Big Bang theory is just a more esoteric version of "trans women are women".

I will explain.

We all know that men and women are biologically different down to their chromosomes. Yes there are some outliers but generally xx is female and xy is male, but we cannot say that because it's "offensive". Because of an extreme minority of people we had to rewrite all biology.

Okay, now imagine instead of some extreme virtually powerless minority, the offended constituency was the most powerful private landowner, academic, health care, and agriculture network in the world who has already BURNED PEOPLE ALIVE for saying the universe had no beginning.

go our anywhere very dark and you can see about 1500 stars at any one time. bring a pair of binoculars and you can see more, because the binoculars amplifies the previously invisible dots above the background noise.

Lel. How retarded do you have to be to miss the point so completely? Of course it's not the case. The question is why not.

If you assume the universe is filled with a constant density of stars and it's infinite you can integrate the apparent flux. What you find is that for point sources the flux diverges to infinity as distance goes to infinity. The flux from each star falls with distance squared, but the number of stars in each shell increases with distance squared. For more realistic stars with a finite angular size the surface brightness saturates at when the whole sky is filled with star surfaces. Surface brightness is conserved and so the whole sky would be filled with emission as bright as the disk of the Sun. These are mathematical facts. The question is why this is not the case in the real world.

Giordano Bruno, who people like you murdered without apology to this day, was correct. God is the universe, and He is infinite & eternal. Your big bang is as fake as geocentrism. Light loses energy as it travels, "tired light". I'm not even here to argue with you. I'm right. You're wrong.

That's actually not true, in the general case. Conservation of energy only exists where there's a continuous symmetry of time translation. In an expanding universe there is no such symmetry, so energy is not conserved. See Noether's theorem.

Black holes, negative energy - that's just what we know about.

With different connected scales. This isn't that difficult. Im not playing some semantic trick. This really is not difficult. Stop listening to those frauds in academia who try and make it difficult. Its not difficult. Energy leaves our observable scale but there is always energy coming into our scale too. Infinite "fractal". Infinite universe. Nothing is outside our universe. There is no edge or bottom to our universe.

It's perfect logic, you are simply projecting your finite grey goo brain on to something infinitely bigger than you.

I'd the universe is infinite why is it expanding?

How does something that is infinite expand? Why if it is infinite does it expand?

Makes no sense to me that something that is infinite continues to grow. How can it grow when it is infinite?

Sure. Go to an airshow and listen to the jet as it travels away from you - NOT past you, but simply away from you. Notice how the sound changes the further away it is... eventually it's just a low hum as the wave gets stretched out losing energy over distance. Same with with light. Red shifted light is the "low hum" of light.

Only dummies think MM experiment ruled out an "aether". It's the ultimate midwit filter.

A MM experiment calibrated for sound waves rather than light waves would not even detect the presents of air on a calm day.

It's remarkable that MM experiment is taken seriously by anyone.

Yeah... it's abrahamic taint in general, but Jesuitical is probably at fault in this particular case because the whole reason why cosmology was even corrupted by big bang and all us tentacles is because eternalism is still a heresy in catholicism... It's a big deal to them. Giordano Bruno who is a serious scientific martyr and hero of protestant Germany (there are statues of him there) was executed during the inquisition without apology to this day... in fact Bruno's inquisity was Sainted in 1920, and a Catholic priest invented big bang theory almost immediately after that.

Well, philosophically the question I ask is why does the universe exist? It's seems to be a *computer* in the deepest sense of the word. If that computer knew what was happen next there would be no reason to do the calculations, therefore I figure is the universe repeats exactly into the fractal why would it not just shut off after running the calculation once? Again, philosophically it just makes mire sense to me that the calculation is infinite with infinite "chaos theory" esque complexity. I doubt we will find a repeating loop in, say, pi or the primes either... but I don't know... it's perhaps an unanswerable question.

And this also makes the philosophical assumption that our universe is all that exists. Claiming a *God* started the universe and that's that is cowardly... it doesn't actually answer the question. And now here we are getting into the logic that got Bruno executed you see and caused Catholics to desperately propose big bang theory to begin with!

>What is the best literature to move away from big bang brain washing

Eric Lerner is the big name now who is FINALLLY being taken seriously by (a few) academics. He even speaks at IAI now.

Lerner's core arguments are utter kilshots at Big Bang theory once you understand what he's getting at.

His primary argument is this:

If the universe came from singularity 14B years ago:

And the distant light we see from galaxies is 14B years old:

Meaning the light was released those galaxies spacial coordinates near singularity:

Then why do those galaxies appear distant rather than looming huge in the sky?

He's absolutely right. Once you wrap your head around what he means you cannot "unsee" it. Them once you take that step into assuming the big bang is false you begin to see the evidence everywhere and what a mess cosmology is just to accommodate that false theory.

>Then why do those galaxies appear distant rather than looming huge in the sky?

Important to understand that light shows us where something WAS not where it is. We see where the sum WAS 8 minutes ago. We see where galaxies WERE 14B years ago, and where they were is distant and not emerging from a singularity. It's incredibly simple logic. Expanding space theory CANNOT explain this discrepancy... in fact it only highlights it: if space expands from all points than the light waves should be truly stretched and massive like a funhouse mirror - they aren't. In fact red shift is so subtle that it falls into the range of decay expected in any medium including water and sound waves based on the "granularity" of its medium.

Big bang is laughably and remarkably false.

Redshift explains something has moved.
If the object hadn't moved you wouldn't have redshift, you would see the visible light from it.

This is easily tested by observing near by galaxies like Andromeda. Which is also moving closer to us and is blue shifted.

You just fundamentally misunderstand the premise of the Big Bang.

You think the Big Bang started at a point and went kaboom, like an exploding hand grenade. This is completely wrong.

The Big Bang happened *everywhere simultaneously.* In the first few hundred thousand years of the Big Bang, the entire universe (which appears to be infinite) was filled with a hot, dense plasma very much like what the sun's made of. As the metric expanded, the density of the universe fell, and correspondingly the temperature. Atoms formed first —hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium and beryllium — and the universe became transparent to light. (That's where the CMB comes from.) Over about a billion years, give or take, dark matter overdensities caused baryonic matter to clump together and collapse under gravity to form galaxies made of stars. We can see some of these early galaxies with powerful telescopes, including the JWST. They were far away from us then and they're far away from us now; their light is red-shifted because the metric is expanding so the distance from here to there is increasing with time. This "stretches out" light, making it redder. That's how we can tell how far away distant galaxies are: by how red-shifted they are.
