They discovered that the cluster ages were at least 3 billion years old‚ which can be used as an indicator for the age of the universe. This indicator was more consistent with geological time estimates for the earth’s age than the 1.8 billion derived through Hubble’s expansion value‚ as there is geological evidence on earth that suggests the earth is older than 1.8 billion years
