How do they know which direction to look? Are we in the center of the universe?
Hubble ping.
Thanks colorado tanker. This is weird, because, y'know, the sky is just a dome with holes in it. /s
“Nothing can move through space faster than the speed of light. Space itself has no such speed limit. That’s why the universe is speculated to be 93BLY across after only 14B years.”
What is this “space” that has no speed limit you speak of?
Space is the place where you will find the light...
So your view is that Isaac Newton and other men of faith should have stifled their curiosity and stopped with that? Why ask questions about how things work? Just tail chasing, right?
What is this “space” that has no speed limit you speak of?
Space, the final frontier
It’s nice to know that lithium was already available at that early period. If only there had been some carbon-based life forms to invent things which would run on a lithium battery.
They aren't look for how things work. They are looking for proof of their own theory: that there is an end/edge to the universe.
JWST if they can get it up and working will show us
so much we just can’t imagine.
I have personally seen farther than Hubble but that
was on really good acid, then I looked the other way
and that was just as awesome!!!
Another runner in the night, blinded by the light. Maybe.
“I don’t know, but you need a photo ID to get in.“
Racist.

Lithium is the original fusion fuel. Even some of the higher mass Brown Dwarf pseudo planets can ignite lithium, yet not achieve hydrogen ignition and become a Red Dwarf Star.
“Just tail chasing, right?”
Where is the edge of the universe? Was there a big bang? What existed before the big bang?
As an amateur scientist, software engineer and all that crap, I think those questions either have no answer or will lead to further questions, etc.
historical extrapolation stumbles and falls.
God smiles as prideful man strives to box Him
endless surprises still waiting, i think.
I have to agree that some questions are frivolous and others are unproductive.
However, I posit that questions about the universe, its composition, and even its origins post-creation are worthwhile.
Many times they do lead to more questions. Some of those questions are unanswerable due to our limited lifespan and point of reference.
However, sometimes questions can direct us to clues that offer deeper understanding of what we see and how things work. These are definitely worthwhile.
What if we live in just one of many universes

Then you would have to change the very definition of the word “universe” which means “everything” You just can’t have more than one “everything.
“questions about the universe, its composition, and even its origins post-creation are worthwhile.”
Partially correct, but “post-creation”? Is there a “pre-creation”? That’s where I get off the bus.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
So you don't believe in God. Okay.
If you are speaking from a scientific perspective, would you agree that any "scientific" speculation as to what happened before the creation of the universe is just that, speculation? Science has its limits, but some don't want to believe that.
