in order to measure the age and size of the universe, a standard for measurement, a "standard candle" was needed, and has been thought to have been found in the "20th century".
but, as learning from the biographies of the history of science in nature theology, natural philosophy, geology, biology, physics, astronomy...shows of the search...
the human mind is not a "standard candle".
-- reflections on Measuring Eternity: The Search for the Beginning of Time, Martin Gorst, 2001.
