Look back in time 13.25 billion years

Scientists at Caltech have confirmed the distance of the furthest galaxy known in the Universe as of today.
The light from this very early celestial comes just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Keep in mind that the Universe is 13.82 billion years old. The previou record holder formed much later: 2.2 billion years after the Big Bang.
Astrophysicist Adi Zitrin led a groups of scientists in confirming the distance to EGSY-2008532660, as it has been unceremoniously called. Previously reported by Guido Roberts-Bersani at University College London, it was previously a mere candidate for a distant object.

bullshite. Bobby Jindal, Mike Huckabee, and most other GOP presidential candidates tell me the Universe is around 6000 years old.

The sheer magnitude of outer space is something I don't think any of us can wrap our brains around.

I feel like I need to take a big bong rip before reading this article.

We can't. Literally can't.
Our personal existence lasts about 70-100 years.
A person would have to live 132 million lifetimes to experience that many years.

Wouldn't there be no age to the universe if matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
Also is the picture posted apx what happened 13.25 billion years ago?

this seems to be the top theory at the moment:

Cool
I was just a little confused when I saw the 13.82 billion number which is why I asked

gotcha
I think they're claiming this is 570 million years after big bang

if they are looking at Earth, they are looking at pre dinosaurs stuff.

This is bullshite. Science is bullshite. Do you even read the Bible bro?

If they are looking at Earth they are looking at pre-Earth stuff.

the weird thing is that top physicists are mainly interested in the first (trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth) of a second after time=0. Some physicists admit everything after that bores them.

The evidence suggests the Big Bang was something mind-blowing in its scale, described in the theory of inflation, first presented by Alan Guth in 1979 and elaborated upon in his book "The Inflationary Universe" (Perseus Books, 1997). Guth suggests the entire universe came essentially out of nowhere, at a rate that is incomprehensible: Within a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, the universe expanded by a factor of 10^78 in volume — that's a 10 with 78 zeros after it. We really have no idea how this happened, which naturally gives rise to many theories.
