The Universe never β€œ came into existence ”.
100 years ago, the Milky Way was β€œ the Universe ”,
and it was estimated to be only 100 mega years old.

Today, the β€œ Known-History ” of the Milky Way
is estimated to be about 13.7 giga years,
same at the known-history of the entire Universe.

These are β€œ Horizons ”, not β€œ Ages ”.

For any sufficiently predictable system,
time is the fourth --> Spatial <-- dimension.
e.g. By definition, the S.I. second is also a length.

The cosmos is forever cooling, which is mighty lucky for us because
energy must go from hot to cold or it can't be exploited.

Entropy is the measure of how dissipated the energy of a system is,
i.e. how unexploitable the energy has become.
There never was an β€œ Energy Crisis ”, only an β€œ Entropy Crisis ”.

We're all quite ignorant, so time seems ( but isn't ) directional,
and the cosmos seems like ( but isn't ) a casino.

Entropy creates, maintains and destroys all that is or ever was;
so it's β€œ Thee God Almighty ”, with us as lesser gods,
like stars shining bright, dissipating into the night.
