The discussion centers on the concept of varying ages of celestial objects and the speculation that our universe may exist within an "outer universe." Participants emphasize that such theories lack empirical support and caution against accepting news articles as scientific evidence. Notably, the Methuselah star's age, which appears to exceed the universe's age, raises significant questions among cosmologists. Ongoing research by astronomers is crucial for establishing accurate age measurements of cosmic entities.

It's difficult to make any sense of that. In general news items don't qualify as science.Benfield said:Summary: Universe within universe
Recently a news article stated objects found in the universe have different ages, could it be that our universe is inside an already existing universe and that is why it is able to expand so easily.

We know the expansion is not a motion of objects through space because that wouldn't fit to observations. No, we are not expanding inside an "outer universe", there is no such thing.
