Can the "Methuselah" star be older than the universe?

There are two main expectations about why the Methuselah star seems to be older than the universe. 

1) The star is formed before our universe. 

2) Star is traveled through the cosmic void. The cosmic voids or very low-energy areas in the universe can cause situations where energy flows out from the stars faster than it should. 

The Methuselah is an orange star near our galaxy. The age of that star is estimated at 12-14 billion years, and the age of our universe is about 13,8 billion years. Wikipedia says the age of the Methuselah star is 12+-0,5 billion years. That means Methuselah is not older than the universe. It is the oldest known star. But it started its life a billion years after the universe was born. 

So can that star be older than the universe? The thing is that there is a wild theory that Methuselah formed before our universe, or it is the remnant of some ancient universe.

Or it could be the star, formed in some other universe. Those theories are interesting, but there could be more conventional reasons for the age of that star. And those reasons don't require a multiverse. 

If particles go into an area where the energy level is extremely low. That increases the energy flow out from the particle. Those areas called cosmic voids can increase the aging speed of the material. And those voids can also make particles look like. That they are older than even the entire universe. 

The reasonable explanation for the age of that strange star is the cosmic void. If the Methuselah star once traveled through the cosmic void or area where the material and quantum field density are extremely low. That thing can cause that material to turn older faster than outside that void. 

In cosmic voids or so-called electromagnetic vacuums energy travels out from material faster than outside the cosmic void. And that phenomenon can cause a situation, in the Methuselah that it turns older than it should be.
