Abstract:
It was announced on March 21, 2012 that new data taken by the Planck telescope show the universe is 13.8 billion years old, or 80 million years older than previously thought. This is an interesting result, since it changes the previous estimate by only about 1 part
in 140. If we were to assume that these were two separate measurements, we would assign a precision to the result of ±0.7%, a remarkably small amount. Achieving precision is the effect of repetition, and this is a remarkably high precision
