Using our conventional red shift model, they aren't all the same age. The use of Cephid variables was one of our earliest measures for distance in our local group. And these seem to indicate comparable age for these galaxies. Cephid variables are not visible in distant galaxy clusters so we don't know. There are problems with the age of the universe and the degree of spiral we observe. Considering the observed rotation rate of our galaxy, we think that it has only rotated maybe 45 times since the Big Bang. This doesn't sound right and the degree of spiral development doesn't mesh well with this estimated number of revolutions. There are also several visible colliding galaxies and others that appear to have been the result of much earlier galaxy collisions. My guess is that the age of the Universe may be older than we think. Perhaps ageless and that we are one cell. There are fairly large differences between the red shift observation (H0, the Hubble constant) and the age as inferred by globular clusters. If the Hubble constant is not a constant (Eistein thought this) then the estimates are all off. ast.leeds.ac.uk cnn.com
