What's A Few Years, Plus or Minus, Among Friends

Science Daily reports that the age of the universe is older than previously estimated in an article titled “The Universe, Seen Under The Gran Sasso Mountain, Seems To Be Older Than Expected." As this is a topic that naturally draws my interest, I read the article, expecting to learn that the age of the universe is substantially misrepresented.  Nope.

"As a consequence, in the light of Luna’s new data, the age of our Universe passes from the previous estimate of about 13 billions years to that of about 14 billions years” explains Eugenio Coccia, director of Gran Sasso National Laboratories."
