the universe would have to have been expanding uniformly since the big bang. evidence says that this isn't true though. there was a period of inflation where the universe suddenly expanded much faster for a short time.

Every thing in the universe would have to be here now that started at the beginning.
The farthest galaxies we see don't exist anymore.
The universe has a maximum size it could have been expanding at a steady rate for tens of billions of years yet be less than 6 or 7 billion light years across.
The requirement would be that every thing be still in existence that was in the beginning.
The red shift could be interpreted incorrectly which puts the farthest objects over thirteen billion light years away,and expanding at an accelerated rate
The universe is a finite entity so this state could not be.

Silly me, I thought the expansion age WAS the time since the big bang.

Hi.The Big Bang is still a theory .It will always be a theory.It can't be explained in scientific terms.Everything about the universe is questionable .We have to know how it started to answer your question .
Cheers.
