How old is the Universe? In order to figure that out, all you have to do is figure out how quickly it\\u2019s expanding, and then the clock backward until everything is crunched together.

And astronomers have measured the rate that the Universe is expanding with tremendous precision at various times in its history; at the beginning, and much more recently. The problem is, these expansion rates disagree, but they\\u2019ve both been measured so accurately that their error bars don\\u2019t overlap.

In other words, there are multiple, highly accurate estimates for the age of the Universe, and they disagree.
