This model has been in testing for 3 years and it passed all tests so far.

It already past sevral test and it solves a lot of problems that require dark energy or matter. And problems introduced by the James Webb telescope. It also confirmed cosmic chronometer findings on the expansion history.

It does not disprove models, it just shows that dark matter and energy are not needed and explains why we can’t find them.

    > At the stage of cosmic history when standard cosmology says the Universe was about 300 million years old, a new model puts its age at roughly 4.6 billion years. That gap is the heart of a University of Ottawa proposal that the Universe is 26.7 billion years old, nearly double the accepted 13.8 billion.

    wth? 300 million, 4.6 billion, 26.7 billion or 13.8 billion? Pick one.

    …ah, the other article does a slightly better job here…

    In the standard cosmological model, the Universe was approximately 300 million years old during the period known as cosmic dawn, when the first generations of stars and galaxies were emerging. At the same observed redshift, however, CCC+TL would place the Universe’s age at roughly 4.6 billion years.

      I think they’re two relative ages.

      So the point in time we thought was 300 million years ago was actually 4.6 billion, which makes the universe’s total age not 13.8 billion like thought but rather 26.7 billion (due to other increased windows probably).
