I just read this link, and some of the links on this link. An hour later, I thank you - I'm such a sucker for fascinating stuff like this.

Thanks for the link. Took a "quick" look, but that was an hour ago!! I'll mark and revisit.

Just think, this is only based on what we know now. Years from now, when science is more advanced, they will know far more. That's the cool thing about science, there are always new discoveries, nothing is stagnant, always changes. Great link, DP!

Interesting but you really have to do your homework when reading this stuff.
Commentors above mentioned that scientists change their minds as more data becomes available, but they also make wild-a$$ guesses about things when the evidence goes against their accepted paradigm.
Example:
Unproven axiom: The Universe is Billions of years old.
Observation: Comets exist.
Observation: Comets live about 50,000 years before they burn up and disappear.
Problem: If those two observations are true, then the age of the Universe cannot be more than that.
Solution: Create a place that has never been observed nor detected in any way, that has no direct evidence as a place where there is a "Comet store" that ejects comets every once in a while to keep the supply replenished. This is the Oort cloud.
Keep speaking of it in concrete terms as if it exists and never mention that it's just made up.
It's a rescuing device. It allows scientists to not question the assumption that the Universe is billions of years old just because what's observed contradicts it.
Scientists are men, and as such have the same bias' as everyone else.

that all for sure every bit. i have that same SWAG problem sometimes...... Scientific Wild Ass Guess.... i take those timeline's they have, with with caution. they haven't proven to me were not 6000. all their instruments are man made.. :shock: :?:

If any one is interested, here is a site I frequent from time to time just to keep up on the latest. The newest of telescopes give us the opportunity to look back in time so to speak. Just how far still remains to be part of the theory but it looks to be significantly more than 5000 years. Hope you enjoy the link.

Actually, the newest of telescopes give us the ability to see things at greater distances than ever before, how we interpret what we see is another matter entirely.
