Well I might bring up the fact that the oldest known star in the universe is HD 140283, which appears to be 14.3 billion years old, slightly older than the universe. Well if you consider the error of estimation to be .8 billion years, this star supposedly formed shortly after the big bang (although there is no evidence a star could form at all). It is interesting to note that it is a population II star, having low concentrations of metals. So you would have a population III star (mostly hydrogen) form, age and become a super nova in less than
400 billion years. Then HD 140283 formed from population III supernova in that same
400 billion years. This seems very unlikely.
By the way population III stars apparently don’t exist or have never been observed. Population III should be very plentiful at long distances as observed from earth.
You might want to check your numbers.
400 billion years seems to undermine your argument.
