Dr. Becky isn't fully convinced that the new theorum proposed (The Universe is 26.7 Gyrs {Giga-Years} old instead of 13.8 Gyrs {Giga-Years} old) stands up to scrutiny, but she can't completely rule it out either.

But interesting food for thought if our Universe is acutally 26.7 Gyrs (Giga-Years) instead of 13.8 Gyrs (Giga-Years)?

We'll see in the coming decades if other scientist agree or disagree with the new proposed cosmological age of our Universe.

But what if Gupta's idea that the Universe is actually older than 13.8 Gyrs (Giga-Years) is correct?
But the exact value that we currently hold isn't accurate.

We'd need to run a bunch of simulations to find out.

Assuming the rate of expansion of space can't be greater than (C = Speed of Light).

What's the rate of deceleration of expansion of space itself?

Everything I've read is that the expansion rate of space will slow down and eventually plateau / flat line to a semi-consistent value.

So the bigger question is how old is our Universe if it's > 13.8 Gyrs (Giga-Years)?

I suspect that there are systematic errors in the deduction of the Lyman break leading to an overestimate of the red shift Z. Another contributing factor could be an incorrect assumption about the initial mass function (IMF). We still have the problem of two other estimates of the age being inconsistent by a few hundred million years. I suspect that has something to do with incorrect calibration of standard candles and/or wrong assumptions about the isotropy of the Universe's expansion.
