“Light from the ancient clusters was emitted about 2 billion years after the “Big Bang”

The first law of thermo dynamics says this cannot happen. So why state it as if it is true?

I just dont undserstand how they can date things this way- when they looked at this particular spot, how did they know that was light from 2billion years after the big bang?

Where would we look if we wanted to see this same cluster 1 billion years after the big bang?

Rush is not a scientist, his flawed understanding of the laws of thermodynamics were passed on to you. I caught part of that particular diatribe but I’m not a regular listener.

Are you thinking of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

(Not that it does what you say claim.)
