It's not our universe. It's a parallel universe where the Cuban Missile Crisis went differently and involved the mutants... It's a parallel universe where a powerful mutant ruled over Egypt. It's a parallel universe where they were developing Big Robots (Sentinels) in the Seventies. It's a parallel universe where technology was far more advanced in 1999.
That said, the Three Mile Island Incident could have OR COULDN'T occurred in 1979, that's fair, but we don't care because we know that X-MEN ORIGINS is set in 1983, years later. Maybe the Incident truly occurred in 1979, but it was much smaller than our counterpart. Maybe it didn't happen at all. Or maybe the destruction of the reactor in 1983 will be regarded as the "Three Mile Island Incident" of this universe and that would be cool anyway.
We know that it's 1983 because:
1- Cyclops is 18 years old, as established by "Apocalypse". 2- The Weapon X project, even in the altered timeline, would be "ready to go" only in 1983. 3- The "15 years thing" since X-Men 1.
It's more that the main X-men movies from First Class on are basically episodes of Ancient Aliens. Everything happens like in the real world execpt mutants were there for it. If there was a movie based in 2020, it would be Apocalypse and his four horsemen behind it. We've already had really big floods, fires, earthquakes and a virus in just the last 3 months.
You do know that none of the filmmakers pay any attention to continuity. Not even the ones that make a 2 movies in a row. They erased Origins win they made Apocalypse. So Origins happens in 1979. Apocalypse happens in 1983 because they firmly placed it in 1983. And, again, Stryker wasn't giving a specific span of time when he said 15 years.
No, mutants are not the only difference. Kennedy is a mutant. Technology in 1962 is FAR more advanced, as well as in 1973 and 1999. There are millions of differences.
You miss the point you simpleton, why does Beast remain looking like a young man in his twenties in the FC-DP movies, yet he ages to look 50 in the X1-3 timeline
LMAO he doesn't age. He changes "mutated" form for the third time in his life. Cinematic BEAST has three humanoid forms: Feline, Werewolf and Simian. The third one is Simian/Ape (The Last Stand).
Magneto is captured in both timelines, according to you in one he gets freed 6 years earlier than the other, but he is still imprisoned for just over 8 years in the new timeline, but prison has no effects on him here, also is this actually stated in the films he was experimented on at that time?
He will be experimented upon in 1974 or so. By the time we see him again in 1980, he looks more "weary" and his hair are silver. Remember, they applied great facial CGI to Sir Ian for the Last Stand prologue.
And how does Stryker age better in one timeline than the other? he doesn't have different genetics you pleb, he has the same genes which means he should age at the same rate, how does he somehow stave of aging to look into his late 40's in one timeline but look like he's in his early 30's in the other supposedly set in the same time period, the character being played by different actors
William Stryker Jr. is born in 1937, like Hank McCoy.
He is 36 years old in 1973 (X-Men Origins - Vietnam sequence as well as DOFP). Danny was CGI de-aged for the Vietnam sequence indeed. He is 46 years old in "Apocalypse". Just pretend that he dyed his hair brown in the altered timeline, and kept a far better shape. That's it, man.
JEAN GREY is 6 years old in DOFP. Kinberg confirmed that the red haired child who looks up the sky and sees the arena floating in the air is HER. Case closed.
Really because I am sure he's only meant to have the two forms, simian and feline, he has the simian form in most of the movies, so why does his simian forms age so much between 92 and 99 according to you? and even if he does "change" why does this change only impact his later form, why does his other forms still look to be a man in his twenties?
So where did you pull the 1974 number, again cite proof from the films not your own personal theories.
As for Stryker, I am pretty sure they didn't de-age him, they de-aged Xavier in the film, that is noticeable, Danny Huston doesn't have that same uncanny valley look to him, so sounds like you maybe misremembering things, though if I am wrong and you can cite a source I will own up to being wrong however.
But the actor playing Stryker in DOFP isn't even 30 in that movie, he's 27 at the time of filming, 28 at the time of release and 29/30 during Apocalypse, and again how does staying in shape offset natural aging, Jackman is always in great shape but he still noticeably aged between movies, this is just a cop out.
So because the writer says so after the fact makes it so huh? even though it makes no sense, Jean's from New York, so why is she in DC randomly to see Magneto fly the stadium like that? and what her mom and dad grab her rush to a hotel room to watch the TV to see Raven stop Magneto about what 10 minutes later? or did Magneto go to DC steal his helmet then go to upstate NY to steal a stadium then fly it over what 4 states and no one noticed till he got back to DC?
And if the writer saying oh that's Jean means it's jean then that means that the original intent to have that kid be Cyclops in FC counts also, cannot pick and choose these things, but hey atleast you aren't making it up for once, I assume so atleast, I don't care to fact check you so I will give you the benefit of the doubt here.

Is he? We have the word of Magneto who can't detect other mutants. If Kennedy was a mutant then Xavier would know because he would have been on that list they made to find mutants in First Class.
What technology in 1962 is far more advanced? The Cerebro prototype that Beast built? That's the only thing advanced there. 1973... You mean the Cerebro in Xavier's school? The Sentinels and a hand held Cerebro? In 2000... You mean Cerebro and that holographic table? You see what I'm getting at? Only the X-men have advanced technology because they have a big brain that builds things for them. Then you have the 2 pieces of tech that Trask has that is based on already existing tech. Tech isn't openly advanced.

1992 to 2000? Different timelines. The "1992" of the original timeline was vastly different from the "1992" of the altered timeline. We only know for sure that Beast could turn into his "Werewolf Form" (the second one) in 1973. From 1973 to 2000, there's plenty of time to develop a new serum or undergo a new mutation making Beast adopt the "Simian Form" of The Last Stand and the ending of DOFP (positive future).
As for Stryker, I am pretty sure they didn't de-age him, they de-aged Xavier in the film, that is noticeable, Danny Huston doesn't have that same uncanny valley look to him, so sounds like you maybe misremembering things, though if I am wrong and you can cite a source I will own up to being wrong however.
Danny Huston was slightly de-aged for the Vietnam scene (1973). That's common belief, I will search for the sources again.
In regards to the altered timeline, well, it's a comic book movie. We can pretend that Mystique put him in a comatose state at the end of DOFP (1973), and then he was cryogenized. Maybe they awoke him few years before the Weapon X project of "Apocalypse" (the movie), and that's the reason why he hasn't aged much since 1973.
