@19RedLineR74 Maybe you have some more "proper" ideas about those heavy elements? .I'd like you to express them. And why the most obvious is the least probable? Remember, universe was considered to be 8 bln.yrs old.,then 15. So why can't we expect our estimation of it's age to change? Do we know Everything already?
