WMAP, a more accurate satellite to replace COBE, mapped the CMB (Comic Microwave Background), and has taken data that cosmologists use to infer that the universe is 13.7 billion years old. But this age of the universe is not possible which I will try to explain a little later. Here is more on WMAP:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkinson_Microwave_Anisotropy_Probe<br /><br />WMAP data is used to agree with a 13.7 B (Billion) year age proposed by expansion theory studies. WMAP perhaps can give important clues to the structure of the current universe that we can see, but these researchers seem not to care very much about that issue because it could relate to black body radiation originally coming from stars, which cosmologists deny because it would tend to refute big bang theology. Anyway, the Wikipedia article relates to the ‘ideal’ blackbody instead of the real one that might actually come from stars everywhere. It seems to me a subtle subterfuge.<br /><br />Is the universe 13.7 billion years old?<br /><br />Recent data of very early universe studies at about 11 to12 B years ago refutes the big bang theory completely about the age of the universe because of the finding of large galaxies that long ago. The data studies were conducted by Karl Glazebrook of Johns Hopkins., and a copy of the press release is at the end of this document. Virtually all galaxies are regular galaxies which indicate a standard build such as the Milky Way and Andromeda and most others in our vicinity of space. These take a minimum of 13 B years to form and may take very much longer. There are many indicators that large galaxies have been around for very long periods of time. Even at great distance we see large galaxies that are yellowish with age and rich in metals. Bib bang cosmologists would like to see only small blue galaxies, implying newly forming ones from the early matter soup thou
