Here are some thoughts to share 🏵️🏵️👇

The universe may be twice as old as previously thought, based on the study by Rajendra Gupta and his colleagues. However, other scientists have not been able to replicate the results of this study, and there are other possible explanations for the presence of the old galaxies. For example, it is possible that the galaxies formed in a different part of the universe where the expansion rate was slower.

They argues that the only way to explain the presence of the old galaxies is if the universe is actually much older, perhaps as old as 26.7 billion years.
However, this is not the only possible explanation. It is also possible that the galaxies are younger than they appear, or that they have been misclassified.

Finally, they argues that the study by Gupta and his colleagues has "shattered our understanding of the universe."
However, this is not the case. The study has raised some interesting questions, but it has not definitively changed our understanding of the universe.

The Quran does not explicitly mention the age of the universe.
However, there are a few verses that have been interpreted as referring to the creation of the universe over a period of time.

For example, in verse 50:38 of the Quran, it says:

"And We created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, and there touched Us not of weariness."

Some Muslims interpret this verse to mean that the universe was created in six literal days. However, others argue that the word "day" in this verse can also be interpreted as a period of time, or an "eon."

Another verse that has been interpreted as referring to the age of the universe is verse 70:4 of the Quran, which says:

"And a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of your counting."

This verse suggests that a day in the sight of God is much longer than a day on Earth.
Some Muslims have interpreted this verse to mean that the universe is billions of years old, since a thousand years on Earth is a very small fraction of a day in the sight of God.

However, it is important to note that these are just interpretations of the Quran. The Quran does not explicitly state the age of the universe, and there is no one definitive answer to this question.
