Hi - does anybody have a rough idea of the increase in accuracy which
the upcoming ESA Planck CMB Probe will give us regarding the age of
the universe?  The combined results of WMAP, BABAR et al gave us
an age of ~13.7 (+/- .2) *10^9 years.  Ie: How much will Planck improve
on this value and its error bars?

thanks,
Gene
