To settle the score, an international team of astronomers led by Cornell university used data from the National Science Foundation's Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in Chile and "cosmic geometry" to end the debate, Cornell officials said in a statement. Their estimate of (about) 13.77 billion years roughly matches the estimate from the Planck Collaboration.

"Now we've come up with an answer where Planck and ACT agree," astronomer Simone Aiola, a researcher at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York City and author of one of two new papers describing these findings, said in the same statement. "It speaks to the fact that these difficult measurements are reliable."

By determining the age of the universe, the researchers also were able to estimate how fast the universe is expanding — this figure is known as the Hubble constant. With ACT, they calculated a Hubble constant of 42 miles per second per megaparsec, or 67.6 kilometers per second per megaparsec. In other (simpler) words, they found that an object 1 megaparsec (or about 3.26 million light-years) away from Earth would be moving away from Earth at 42 miles per second (67.6 km/s).

According to Rush, “They’re terrified that Trump is gonna unleash classified documents. You know, he’s got a bevy of ’em, folks. He’s got classified documents about the hoax, the four-year coup […] the four-year effort to get the election results of 2016 overturned. There are all kinds of people who broke the law, all kinds of people who are quaking in their boots. They’re worried silly that Trump is gonna unleash some of these classified documents.”

Rush also says they’re terrified Trump will pardon people “dangerous to the establishment.”

“Why did they want to stop Trump in the first place? Because they didn’t want what they have been up to (which is no good) for years to ever come out.”

“They didn’t want Trump to discover it and release it,” Rush continued. “They remain petrified for the next 12 days that Trump is going to release — somehow, someway — what he knows about these people. In other words, they’re worried to death that he’s got a card or two to play here yet, including the pardon power. They’ve got a lot of stuff to keep covered up.”

One countermeasure that can partially mitigate the attack is for service providers that offer key-based 2FA to use a feature baked into the U2F standard that counts the number of interactions a key has had with the provider’s servers. If a key reports a number that doesn’t match what’s stored on the server, the provider will have good reason to believe the key is a clone. A Google spokeswoman said the company has this feature.
