Meaning what? What’s on the outside of the known boundary? Yeah, think on that a while.

The James Webb Telescope (JWT) will pick up where/when Hubble leaves off. When fully operational, the JWT will be located approx. 1 million miles from earth.

The Universe began as a sort of cosmic egg in the middle of “nothing”.
The egg exploded and then spread outwards in all directions, creating the Universe we see today.
The Universe is 14B years old.
The Universe is now 93B lightyears wide
Nothing moves faster than the speed of light. Except, you know, literally EVERYTHING.

Space and time have not limits.
No beginning, and no end.

Since these observations are at the limits of Hubble, it puts one more task on the to-do list for the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope.

...

I think the James Webb Space Telescope is the undisputed world champion for being behind schedule and over budget.

Hypothesis 1: “galaxies must have formed much earlier than we thought.”

Hypothesis 2: The theories of the formation of the early universe that dictate when galaxies “must have” formed need to be changed.

This is because the Universe is a lot larger that the visible Universe. There was no Big Bang.

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.

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!!!

historical extrapolation stumbles and falls.

God smiles as prideful man strives to box Him

endless surprises still waiting, i think.
