1. You are right. The stars in the eve universe are sometimes much older than you would expect.
The oldest star is 91102232369.3557 years old. 91 billion that is.
there are quite a few stars older than our universe:
>15 billion:
| 2595 |
>20 billion:
| 1967 |
>30 billion
| 1075 |
> 40 billion:
| 582 |
>50 billion
| 317 |
> 60 billion
| 136 |
>70 billion
| 54 |
> 80 billion:
| 9 |
>90 billion:
| 1 |
Given all that I would say you were in line for a Nobel, except for one thing.
You are not the first to notice this feature.

I got these calcs by doing this query on the mapCelestials table from the database dump.
select count(*) from mapCelestialStatistics where spectralClass <> '0.0' and (age/31557600) > 90000000000;
replace the last number with your favorite billion.

That oldest star is an M9-V spectral Type according to the database.
According to wikipedia, that type of star can live for trillions of years, theoretically.
So......perhaps the Eve universe is just set in the future by about 80billion years.

I did not bother looking up where it is at, as I would have had to load another couple data tables. If I get a chance I will do that tonight.

by "you" I hope you mean CCP and not me, as this is a table from the data dump.

Actually that is explained quite nicely by warp drives. Your ship's warp drive induces a drag on the ship relative to the greater universe, IIRC.
