In the early universe time ran much slower compared to the current period. This was already known, but scientists have pushed this back to a billion years after the big bang, when time ran 5x slower compared to now.

@SirFredman So the Big Bang may be more than 14 billion years ago, even endlessly ...?

I don't think it would change the age of the universe as measured from the inside since with slower time a year also ends up being longer. From an outside perspective it would be older though.
