Older than the universe? How you figure?
Yes, some of the elemental particles in our body (electrons, quarks, …) were actually popped into existence along with the universe during the first fraction of time of the Big Bang, and remained still until today. So whatever or wherever these particles came from (assuming they do), they carried with them information that is older than the universe itself.
at best, that means they’re as old as the universe, not older than it. also, didn’t most of those particles constantly annihilate each other?
If I am not mistaken, accordingly to the Big Bang theory, all particules were created at the same time. Not before or after, or few of them but all of them at the same time.
No new electrons/quarks/… were created since then.elemental particles in our body (electrons, quarks, …)
I don’t think you know what either elements or particles are…
Ah, good point. The universe hadn’t expanded yet.
Older than the universe? How does that work?
Everything is possible if you lie.
No that’s not true, that’s impossible
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
The universe appears to have a finite age in the Big Bang model and can be calculated to give an approximate value. Particles however, do not seem to have any correlation with time. The lifespan of a fundamental particle, without colliding with its anti-particle through annihilation, appears to be infinite.
We’re all truly children of the stars.
As if I didn’t already feel too old -_-
It’s like with money. You never own it, it’s just your turn with it
