When did the universe add 10 billion years? Or is this just another case where what we were taught as fact really wasn’t?

The conventional wisdom is, and has been for some time, that the universe is around 14 billion years-old. It's our own solar system that is around 4-4.5 billion years-old. I'm not sure about the Milky Way - I think it's somewhere around 13 billion, according to contemporary scientific dogma.
