GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -We do not know the exact age of the universe, but we believe that it is around 13 billion years-give or take a few billion. Astronomers estimate the age of the universe in two ways: (a) by looking for the oldest stars; and (b) by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and extrapolating back to the Big Bang.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Big Bang: the birth of the universe Around 13.7 billion years ago, everything in the entire universe was condensed in an infinitesimally small singularity, a point of infinite denseness and heat. Suddenly, an explosive expansion began, ballooning our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.
