“It makes sense — the Big Bang happens, and things take time to gravitationally collapse and form, and for stars to turn on. There’s a timescale associated with that,” Casey explained. “And the big surprise is that with JWST, we see roughly 10 times more galaxies than expected at these incredible distances. We’re also seeing supermassive black holes that are not even visible with Hubble.”

It has always been counterintuitive to me that the Big Bang would produce a cloud of gas that would take millions or billions of years to coalgaless into galaxies.

Why would the Big Bang, previously an infinitely dense bit of matter, not breakup into an infinitely large number of varyingly smaller and larger bits of matter that may or my not clump together to form an infinite diverse collection of matter.

I always thought that the Big Bang would have produced Black Holes from the very beginning.

In that case there would be Galaxies forming from the very beginning.

True.

The cosmologists assume uniform placement of matter in the Post-Big Bang era.

Anyone that has seen the damage and distribution of debris in the aftermath of an explosion of any sort knows this cannot happen..................
