We think the age of universe is 13.8 billion years old . I think we are wrong.
Let’s pretend we can go outside of our observable universe. Also, let’s say we can go so far out that we do not even see a spec of light from our universe. We see nothing at all, total darkness. When they finally do see the spec of light it will look like an explosion took place and the universe was born out of nothing. From that perspective, there was nothing, something what looks like an explosion must have taken place, and now a spec of light is getting bigger and bigger. (Big Bang)
From the vantage point of an observer situated far beyond our observable universe, who is not aware of the preceding 13.8 billion years of cosmic history, the sudden appearance of light or a "spec of light" could indeed give the impression of a sudden cosmic event, like an explosion, resulting in the birth of the universe.
In this scenario, the observer might not have the context to understand that the light they are witnessing has been traveling for billions of years before reaching them. Instead, they might interpret it as a contemporary event. This interpretation aligns with the idea that observations are relative and dependent on the observer's frame of reference and knowledge. Without the information about the universe's history, the observer might naturally conclude that they are witnessing the birth of the universe at that moment.
The universe can be 27 trillion years old, and we will never know the true age as we could be the observers who are seeing the light from further away than what our current technology can see.
Am I way off on this?
