As for the age of the universe, high energy physicists place the age at 10^32 to 10^33 years based on their observations. The last time I read anything about it they were conducting an experiment (I believe it was called ISIS, but I could be wrong so don't quote me) to try and observe a proton decay.


I think you are the one confused about current cosmology theory ! Proton decay experiments - like Kamiokande and SuperKamiokande have pushed the bottom limit for proton decay to some 10^35 years. That essentially means that protons are eternal, once created. It has no bearing I can see with the apparent age of the universe, any more than the spontaneous decay of a nucleotide indicates that it was (halflife ago) since it was created,
