The universe is said to be 13.7 Billion years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe" .
So, for the present galaxy UDFj-39546284 and the present Earth to have traveled as far as they are now, and even if we assume that the big bang occurred right between Earth and UDFj-39546284, it must have taken at least 6.6 Billion years for the objects to have been positioned as they are now (Even if they are assumed to have traveled at the speed of light). The light that left the galaxy UDFj-39546284 6.6 Billion years after the Big Bang (as we see now) should have taken another 13.2 Billion years to reach us.
So the universe must be at least 19.8 Billion years old now. Where am I wrong?
