billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA will WIN! Is
the universe twice as old as we thought? Current estimates suggest
that the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago. But today, we’re
joined by Rajendra Gupta, a luminary in the field of cosmology who
claims that the universe is actually 26.7 billion years
old. I've invited him on the show so he can make a case for
his claims! Professor Gupta is a theoretical physicist currently
teaching astrophysics to senior undergraduate and graduate students
at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on astrophysics,
cosmology, general relativity, the dynamics of the universe under
evolutionary physical constants beyond the standard model, CMB,
JWST, BAO, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the large-scale structure and
formation of galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy.  To say I
am thrilled to have him on the show for the second time would be an
understatement.  So, without further ado, let’s jump right
in!  Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 01:50 Judging Rajendra’s
