That is age measured in a fundamental observer. The difference between that time and one measured on earth in negligible.

Funny thing about looking into the night sky, is that some say you are looking into the past. I know that the particles of my body are as the universe now. Everything about my body is in the "past" in relation to everything else. So that my particles can never leave the "past", it should show that the past is an illusion. The given inference that the universe is 13 billions years old, should be correspondent to the idea that given current interpretation that the amount "time" that has so far elapsed would be 13 billion years.

Does it matter?

Does anything matter?
One of the theories of where our universe will end up is that it will eventually condense itself into a very dense single point, out of which another big bang will occur.
What are the chances that this has been happening forever, and that the outcome of the big bang is always the same? Ergo, we're doomed to repeat the same shit over and over in a cycle that spans hundreds of billions of years?
you're move, sci

One of the theories that's wrong
The universe is expanding

The only thing that makes your particles part of the past is the time it takes for your light to reach the observer
