An international astrophysicists team has recently published their report concluding research about the age of the universe. According to the same, the universe is around 13.8 billion years. Factually, the same theory has been put forward quite a few times in recent history, there is a contradiction of the same. According to another school of researchers, the universe is hundreds of millions of years younger than the above figures. The latter group has also presented a considerable amount of proof to support their theory.
Experts have also revealed the source of their information and bring them to the conclusion. They have taken the oldest universal light as the center of their study. Therefore, the ultimate confirmation is that the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years. The oldest universal light is known as the Big Bang afterglow. You may also call it the cosmic microwave background and indicates a period that is 380,000 years after the birth of the universe. It was also the time when the electrons and protons blended to form the initial atoms.

Infant photo of the Universe
According to a detailed statement from Neelima Sehgal, co-author and astrophysicist from Stony Brooks, the image of the infant world would be of real help to scientists. It will help experts to get a better understanding of the origin of the earth, and how we got where are right now. They may even give us answers to where we will be in the future, and queries about the probable reasons of how the world may end.
Sehgal also says that they are trying to restore the picture of the earth in its infant state. The problem is that the restoration will take a considerable amount of time. However, they are trying to make sure that the final image should not have any kind of distortion, or wear and tear. Therefore, the photo is the only way in which experts can come down to a definite conclusion about the age of the earth.
The conclusions of astrophysics
Right now, the reports of both the Plank Satellite Data and that of Chile’s Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) are coming to common conclusions. They have both studied the ancient light, and therefore have a common estimation of the age of the universe. While the team at ACT has taken the oldest light as the central factor of their research. On the other hand, some teams believe galaxy measurements can give them a definite answer.
Well, both have ideas in common in that case. Besides, there is a new research team that has a different perception of the study of the age of the world. It has given a brand new dimension to the concept of astrophysics in this regard. The ACT team is now trying to form a collaboration with newer researchers and scientists. It is for a better understanding of the concept. As per the new researchers, everyone is now hoping to bring out more information, and present them for the public to know more about the subject of the age of the universe.
