The Science of AllTime

AllTime is a system that calculates the age of the universe to a margin of error as determined by the best science to date.  This is, according to NASA:

13.7 billion years with an error-bar of 1%

On February 7, 13.7B 2003 NASA announced:

"A NASA satellite has taken a picture of the Big Bang's ancient afterglow. Scientists have analyzed the data and learned that the universe is 13.7 billon years old (plus or minus 1 percent) and that the first stars appeared only 200 million years after the Big Bang.  These results are a milestone in cosmology, says the NASA director of astronomy and physics."
