Universe Younger and Expanding Faster Than Previously Thought: A new study led by Nobel Prize winning astronomer Adam Riess found that the universe is actually younger and expanding 9% faster than previously thought, leading many to believe that a "new physics" may be necessary to explain the difference.
Now, if I’m understanding all this correctly, the Universe was caught speeding, traveling way faster than the laws of physics permit. And then, a further investigation also determined that it had been lying about its age all this time? I’m telling you, kids these days! Now, I’m certainly no physicist, but I blame it all on that damn “Big Bang” thing.
And if all that wasn’t bad enough, scientists now say if this finding is correct and we need a “new physics,” it will have profound ramifications on nearly everything. One of which is - everyone’s high school and college physics credits will suddenly be invalid, and people will forced to retake those classes all over again just to maintain their degrees. I mean, what in the world is going on here anyway?
