New research puts age of universe at 26.7 billion years, nearly twice as old as previously believed::Our universe could be twice as old as current estimates, according to a new study that challenges the dominant cosmological model and sheds new light on the so-called “impossible early galaxy problem.”
“Feels” and “common sense”means little in science unless you have a mathematical or logical reason why you feel that way. I’ve seen far too many metaphysical theories try to be taken seriously to not point out that “feels” is useless, observation and math are what matter
And yet, some of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time were made based on people’s feelings and intuition. Fucking shocker I know right. I’ll bet you’re fun at parties.
Despite agreeing with your initial position, you sound like an asshole at parties and outside of them, too. If you need to posture and belittle to support your position, then you have no business trying to argue it in the first place.
Intuition can be a powerful compass to guide us to truths we haven’t yet considered, bubbling up from our subconscious that contains the bulk of our brain’s processing power. But the other commenter is right, it’s not infallible. That same intuition in different people came up with all of science’s knowledge (both the stuff that is currently believed and the stuff that has since been disproven) as well as all of religion’s knowledge (assuming there isn’t any higher being involved, which my intuition says there isn’t but others’ have come to different conclusions).
