Age of spaceScientists use the method of relative dating. They say the universe in 10 billion to 15 billion years old. AnswerWe "measure" the age of the universe by looking out into space. We have discovered that most galaxies outside our Milky Way are moving away from us. And the farthest objects we can see are moving away from us the fastest. If we do a "reverse calculation" using the data about those distant galaxies as a starting point, we can take the "movie" of the expanding universe and "run it backwards" to the beginning when Big Bang began to build the universe. And the ball park figure is on the order of 13.5 to 14 billion years.
