Presumably because our current best estimates for the age of the universe are over a billion years younger than that, but that’s a bit moot considering the age/distance you gave for the black hole merger is wrong, anyway.

Commercial MP3s haven’t been 160 kbps in years, at least not from Amazon. Even as far back as 10 years ago, every MP3 I bought from them was 256 kbps.

I got my first glass-screened smartphone in late 2010, a Droid 2. In the 13-odd years since, I’ve also gone through a Galaxy Nexus, Moto X (1st-gen), Moto Z, Moto Z² Force, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 6 Pro, and currently a Pixel 8 Pro.
