4. Given that same article is the Universe is only 13.7 Billion years old

Gives you an idea how old this really is. How it appears today, may be completely different to what it is today. It took 13.1 Billion years to for light from the Galaxy to get to earth, so it has changed since then.

For example, The Milky Way Galaxy, the Galaxy the earth is in, is no younger then 13.2 billion years old (This is the age of the oldest known found space object in the Milky way).

In this universe,never mind the multiverse.
