Thirteen point eight billion years. That number has been carved into every textbook, every documentary, every model of cosmic history. The age of everything. Except now, we know it's wrong. The James Webb Space Telescope just revealed galaxies that shouldn't exist, stars older than time itself, and structures so mature they mock our timeline. Scientists are rewriting reality. The universe might be twenty six point seven billion years old. Twice what we thought. And what existed before the Big Bang? Something cold, empty, and stranger than you can imagine. Prepare yourselves. We begin.
