Abstract

Although they do not understand how or where globular clusters formed, uniformitarian astronomers have long claimed that globular clusters are among the oldest objects in the universe, with typical ages greater than 10 Ga. In fact, uniformitarian astronomers sometimes define globular clusters as old star clusters found in the bulges and halos of galaxies. Recently, some uniformitarian astronomers have suggested globular clusters might be four billion years younger than previously claimed. But in any case, by secular reckoning, their ages are measured in multiple billions of years, and it is generally agreed that the globular clusters orbiting our own Milky Way galaxy have ages of at least 11 Ga.

The well-known ‘neutron star retention problem’ is the presence of higher-than-expected numbers of neutron stars in globular clusters. This is a possible indicator that globular clusters are much younger than claimed by secular scientists.
