As a Buddhist, I wonder how Neil Tyson can get away with claiming that the universe is so young!? According to the big bang theory Its been ~ 13.8 Billion years (13.8x10^9) since the beginning of time, and roughly 10^100 years until our universe ends (thats a Googol of years, btw). Were always going on about one hundred, thousand, million (really ten thousand) Kalpas before lectures: a Kalpa is 4.32 Billion years (4.32x10^9 years) so were talking about 4.32×10^18 years all together, which is more than 3.13x10^8 times the current age of the universe. Grated, thats only one 2.31x10^72th the projected age of the universe (due to heat death when the last black-hole evaporates and it becomes impossible to create any new information) but the good news is that the universe will be reincarnated out of quantum vacuums fluctuation or tunneling in another 10x10x56 years, which is a long time to wait for Maitreya, but at least we get some quality Nirvana time while we wait. alternet.org/belief/neil-degrasse-tyson-hit-creationist-backlash-explaining-universe-billions-years-old
