"Revised Theory Doubles Estimated Age of the Universe"

A new theory proposes that the age of the universe is actually 26.7 billion years, twice as old as previously believed. This theory is based on observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that cannot be explained by current cosmological models. The "impossible early galaxy" observations made by the JWST suggest that some galaxies dating to the cosmic dawn have features that indicate a longer period of evolution than expected. The proposed model combines the tired light model with a cosmological model based on evolving coupling constants, and it stretches the formation time of galaxies, providing enough time for the observed "impossible" early galaxies to form.
