There is some evidence of elements that may have been existed prior to the process that is commonly referred to as the "creation" of the universe.

I've previously asked the question about the origin of "dust" clouds seen in images from the Hubble telescope. There's a common statement that stars are formed by "Collapsing clouds of dust and gases". However on the other hand, elements (that form the dust clouds) are created when stars explode.

So there is a convoluted proposition like which came first - the chicken or the egg or the stars and the dust clouds that form stars?

Rumors imagined are not evidence. Yes, there is stuff out there that appear to have an age much older than 14 billion years. Does this suggest a more ancient age or that our understanding is insufficient to fit reality? "Star dust" we find in all directions around us at all distances. We find young galaxies and old galaxies in every direction and distance. This suggests (not proves) that our 14 billion year age is a mistake and the universe is in a constant state of birth and death of galaxies.

 

Well that's not quite right. Elements heavier than iron are formed by exploding stars but that gives no evidence of previous universes. Previous suns? Yes.

Sorry, didn't realize that the topic had switched from "our solar system" to "our universe".
