Well.. yes and no. Since light travels at a constant speed we can say that the universe is at least so old if not older. The passage of time is relative, not subjective as it is a dimension of space-time. The measurement of time, much like the measurement of distance is indeed arbitrary but still based on the empirical. A fun fact to ponder is that from the perspective of a photon travel is instantaneous. Relativity is fun =D.
