I'm gonna take a wild shot at 50 billion years. Just because 17 billion doesn't feel big enough.

Even 1 billion is more time than a human could ever comprehend, what good does it do to throw subjective numbers out in the wild if we have an estimate backed up by evidence?

Let's try to put it in terms people can relate to.
Let's say we could take each year and store it on a computer. Each year took up 1 megabyte of space. That would mean we would need a computer that had a 13.75 petabyte hard drive, or 13,750 terabyte hard drive.

The universe is as old as time itself.

The universe is as old as time itself.

Using time in such a general sense this might not be the case. For instance if we have multiple universes, time could exist in those other universes "before" this universe existed. Though time in the sense that we know it, this would be the case.

Scientific Analysis ranges between 13.75 Billion Years - 7 Trillion. So it is undefined but very old.

Do you have a source for this?

13.75 Billion Years - 7 Trillion

That sounds random. Why, when giving a time range, making the minimum so exact compared to the max? Doesn't make any sense and gives me the suspicion you made up the 7 trillion.

There are a variety of ways to measure the age of the earth; as science marches on, we will find more and more precise ways to measure the age of the earth.

What I was trying to say is, 13.75 billion - 7 trillion years is (if I get the American system right) a time interval of 6.98625 trillion. 0.01375 trillion more or less doesn't seem worth notifying in any serious proposition then.

the earth isn't as old as the universe is.

the most updated answer to the question, “How old is the Universe?” is 13.7 billion years, with an uncertainty of only 1%. (0.11billion year)

All the necessary information has been gathered with superb accuracy using the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and is the main reason how scientists were able to arrive at 13.7 billion years.
