Great Age Model rescues an old dusty galaxy. A1689-zD1 is a dusty galaxy very distant from us, 700 million years after the big bang when light left it. [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150302122925.htm] Oh wait, it is thought that stars did not form for several hundred million years after the big bang. Think of the time necessary for galaxies to mature to the level of being dusty. The evidence is there are several hundred supernova per year everywhere, which includes the greatest distances. Supernovae occur at a slow rate throughout the universe, which makes this galaxy at least 10 billion years old when light left it. In the Milky Way there are several per century. These are very bright and noticeable events, so the idea this dusty galaxy occurred due to many early supernovae lacks evidence. This galaxy’s age plus the time for its light to travel to earth, 13 billion years, is far more than 13.8 billion years.
