Hello, I have a question about Big Bang age. Can the age of Big Bang be more of what is told today because of the observable universe? I mean if there is more universe, which we canot see, then isn't the age of Big Bang bigger?
Thank you.

Re: Big Bang Age Question
Hi RolandFaibel,
Ask an Expert is specifically for K-12 students, parents, and teachers working on science fair projects. It sounds like your question might not be related to a project. If so, then a different set of online forums would be better suited to helping you. That said, to first order, if the universe is actually larger than the observable universe then, yes, the big bang could have happened earlier than we think it did. But, we would never know if that were the case because we are limited to studying the the observable universe.
