Maybe my pee brain just can't grasp all this but theres something I haven't been able to understand about this "age of the universe" stuff.

It says it's light traveled 13.2 billion years to reach Hubble, If the object was there 13.2 billion years ago and the universe started from one single spot with the big bang and since nothing can travel faster than light wouldn't that make the universe at least 26.4 billion years old?

Help me out here.
