Planets Older Than Suspected?

How old is it all, really?

Well, this might seem like an esoteric topic, but it really effects how we percieve the universe quite a bit. According to this article on MSNBC, scientists think that there’s a planet that’s much older than it should be. Which means that the entire universe is older than people thought, which, in turn means that life, the universe and everything may have developed at an entirely different rate than was previously thought. So, while a little heavy on the theoretical side, it can really change some things we “knew” about the universe.
Makes you wonder what really did happen a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
