Relationship between gravity, spacetime, & the time line of the universe

I'll throw this out there with the assumption of the following theories:
1) Gravity affects spacetime
2) The universe originated from the big bang
So if we accept these notions, isn't it arrogant to say the universe is the 13 billion or so year years old that physicists predict?
Wouldn't there be such a massive influence of gravity that would create unpredictable circumstances and distortions in spacetime that would make it nearly impossible to predict how old our universe truly is?
If we don't even have the mathematical capability to explain what happens at the center of a massive black hole then how can we be so blind to say what happened when gravity had to have been exponentially greater than even the biggest of black holes?
Learn me something OT. Learn me something.

Interstellar is a long arse waste of time.

Shrooms, Acid, or are you just really stoned right now?

Someone just got done watching Interstellar.

Ok. The proper verb to use here would be "teach".

Not yet, it's there though. Just have to figure it out which is possible. Maybe no right now, in the future we may use these to better the world..or destroy it.
What if they really are a gateway to time travel? And in the future, it's used in a form of racism..to travel back and eradicate anyone and everything that doesn't meet a certain standard of "beauty" or acceptance.
And in the end..all that is learned is that you really needed the murderers, rapists, junkies and trash to bring balance..

That is factored in. duh

Watch How the Universe Works on the Science Channel. Should answer your questions. Watch all seasons.

You don't think they've factored that in? We have some of the greatest minds of all time doing the math here. They've thought of that.
(that doesn't mean they are accurate, but they've certainly thought of it)

You can approach, but never reach, perfection. There will always be a pecking order, no matter how small the differences are.

to appreciate "beauty", you will always need an "ugly".
It's like a battery, positive and negative. You need both to have any production.
Same with being a saints fan, we need Atlanta to remind us how horrible things can be.
The small differences,...given time would become huge.

Beauty is subjective, just like quality.

Dude, relax … and reload the bong.

I agree, but the world we live in is the world we live in.
Kind of like the twilight zone episode "eye of the beholder".

Global warming is man made by some machine in Alaska.
Where is that female poster that posted this topic a few weeks ago. She can give you insight into your dilemma

Measuring the redshift of stars and looking at the cosmic background radiation?

I believe gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces and its the dark energy which is causing the universe to expand and an accelerating rate.

I think its the inflation theory that accounts for that I forget.
I'm no scientist but I love watching BBC Documentaries on physics and shite.

I find physics very interesting. Unfortunately there is, well, was a student in the physics class I am in who asked the teacher if you could completely remove the force of friction with a laser. He has not returned to class after he asked that question.
