On the other hand, those components of creationism which involve certain types of magical events (e.g., the divine creation of a young universe with all of its components bearing the false imprint of great age) make the claims of creationism untestable — making creationism not a theory at all, because theories must be testable!
The folks behind the Creation Museum confidently proclaim on their Web site that «the heavens declare a young universe
In 1984, MIT physicist Alan Guth suggested that the very young universe had gone through a brief period of runaway expansion, which he called «inflation,» and that this expansion had blown up one small corner of an earlier universe into everything we see.
A new space telescope bigger than Hubble will reveal the young universe as never before, say Michael Rowan - Robinson and Matt Griffin

Other major colliders will continue probing the properties of the young universe at lower energies.
The radiation measured by the mission, a joint U.S. and Italian effort called BOOMERANG, is a cosmic fossil, dating from when temperatures in the young universe were so high that light and matter seethed together in an interacting soup.

These characteristics are a bit peculiar and could mean that this type of starburst galaxy is more abundant in the young universe than previously thought.
These atoms absorb certain frequencies of light very efficiently, making the young universe much more opaque than it is today.
The findings reveal new aspects of the ultra-hot, «perfect fluid» that give clues to the state of the young universe just microseconds after the big bang.
Just as astrophysicists have used the clustering of nearby galaxies to measure the modern structure of the universe, they can now — finally — start to do the same for the distant, young universe.
A team led by physicist Naoki Yoshida of Nagoya University in Japan set out to fill this cosmic evolutionary gap in the only way currently possible: They carried out a computer simulation that duplicates the process of star formation in the very young universe.
That's fast enough to crowd the young universe with supergiants whose explosions would provide the materials for future stars and galaxies.
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), the largest component of the third Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS - III), pioneered the use of quasars to map density variations in intergalactic gas at high redshifts, tracing the structure of the young universe.
Beane develops simulations that re-create how elementary protons and neutrons joined together to form ever larger atoms in our young universe.

Between 20 and 100 quasars as bright and as distant as the quasar discovered by Bañados and his team are predicted to exist over the whole sky, so this is a major discovery that will provide fundamental information of the young universe, when it was only 5 percent its current age.
The finding, published in the February 11 issue of Nature, confirms the commonly held supposition that the vigorous star formation in the young universe largely stems from an early bounty of raw materials, rather than a more efficient process of star production.
This is especially important because quantum correlations play a crucial role in many, seemingly unrelated physics questions: Examples are the peculiar behaviour of the young universe right after the big bang, but also for special new materials, such as the so - called topological insulators.
Another argument which is also mentioned in How can we see distant stars in a young universe?
«Old - looking galaxy in a young universe: Astronomers find dust in the early universe.»
For example, the Milky Way and M81 first formed as part of a local over-density in the primordial matter distribution — that is, the earliest accumulations of matter in the young universe.
«Extremely massive galaxies are seen in the young universe, but their presence is puzzling because we do not yet understand how they became so massive so quickly.
u «Extremely massive galaxies are seen in the young universe, but their presence is puzzling because we do not yet understand how they became so massive so quickly.
If either (a) space and its starlight were stretched out, or (b) the speed of light was much faster in the past, then distant stars should be visible in a young universe.
«We've done the world's best job of decreasing the uncertainty in the measured rate of universal expansion and of accurately assessing the size of this uncertainty,» said Filippenko, «yet we find that our measured rate of expansion is probably incompatible with the rate expected from observations of the young universe, suggesting that there's something important missing in our physical understanding of the universe.»
Thus, we can see distant stars and galaxies in a young universe.
«Perhaps the most surprising result is that galaxies in the young universe appear as diverse as they are today,» lead author Caroline Straatman, a recent graduate of Leiden University in the Netherlands, said in a statement Tuesday.
However, many experiments have shown that the needed «dark matter» does not exist.c Some researchers are still searching, because the alternative is a young universe.

However, what keeps Suicide Squad on the level of being merely «passable entertainment at best» is the choppy and stuttering nature of the ill - defined plot, perhaps undone by yet another instance of nervous studio meddling, ostensibly to try to not stall momentum for their young universe of tent - pole films meant to keep them in the black for years to come.
