    Some current cosmological models have our Universe lasting for trillions of years- maybe even ending in a sort of eternal darkness with all matter scattered in a cold, dead space.

    So in comparison to human lifespans our Universe could be compared to a baby, maybe almost embryonic.

    Or as Alan Guth speculated in his classic paper on creating a Universe in the laboratory, some Geek with horned-rim glasses (including a Band-Aid) and a pocket protector may have given birth to a bouncing baby Universe and we're just getting slapped on the tush.

    As far as we know, yes. Relatively speaking the whole universe isn't much older than the Earth, which means the Earth is a rather old place. But the universe may be quite a bit older than just ~14by .

    Space and time are about three times older (in round numbers) than this solar system. yes. The age of the universe is a more complex question and it could be infinite in age, or not.

    These are the laws of science telling you this! Not the sunday school as this man here says - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbh7S6WWdMc GEt a kjversion Bible and believe. Jesus Christ is the truth. See, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX9eDTNfQHY and part 2. The planets in space are telling you 6000yrs! Why isn't this in textbook? The evolutionists made their prediction on "millions of years" and the man there made it based on Bible and 6000yrs. The data came back from OUTER SPACE and guess what? Evolution destroyed again and the Bible shown correct again!

    new also depends on how old it can get. i would think the initial andfinal 10% of the universes lifetime are what is new and old.

    It's literally as old as time. So no I wouldn't say it's new. It's literally the oldest something could possibly be.

    If we compare it's age now, to how long it's thought it'll be around... yes, it's quite young.

    Yea, but 3x older that he earth is 15 billion years.

    That is pretty old.

    supposedly it is very younger and should go on for trillions of years.

    that's what I heard anyway
