The cosmological, astrophysical, and nucleocosmochronological methods for estimating the age of the universe and the corresponding uncertainties are comparatively studied in the present paper. We are led to the conclusion that the new measurements of cosmological parameters, and the recent estimates of the age of globular clusters have led to the gradual disappearance of the age problem from the arena of modern cosmology.

Cosmions and the age problem
Cosmions are suggested as a solution to the solar neutrino problem. Are they also able to lower the globular-cluster ages enough to remove the inconsistencies between the ages of these objects (as…
A Lower Limit on the Age of the Universe
A detailed numerical study was designed and conducted to estimate the absolute age and the uncertainty in age (with confidence limits) of the oldest globular clusters in our galaxy, and hence to put…
Chronology of the halo globular cluster system formation
Using up-to-date stellar models and isochrones we determine the age of 25 galactic halo clusters. The clusters are distributed into four groups according to metallicity. We measure the absolute age…

The Age of Globular Clusters in Light of Hipparcos: Resolving the Age Problem?
We review five independent techniques that are used to set the distance scale to globular clusters, including subdwarf main-sequence fitting utilizing the recent Hipparcos parallax catalog. These…

Globular cluster ages determined from the Oosterhoff period−metallicity effect using oxygen-enhanced isochrones. III
The new brighter calibration of absolute luminosities of RR Lyrae stars by ∼ 0.25 mag as a function of metallicity via the Oosterhoff period effect gives a revised age of the Galactic globular…
Globular Cluster Ages and the Formation of the Galactic Halo
Main sequence turnoff magnitudes from the recent set of Yale isochrones (Chaboyer et al. 1995) have been combined with a variety of relations for the absolute magnitude of RR Lyr stars (Mv(RR)) to…
Distances, Ages, and Epoch of Formation of Globular Clusters
We review the results on distances and absolute ages of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) obtained after the release of the Hipparcos catalog. Several methods aimed at the definition of the Population…
