Ping!...................
It’s Sauron...
Looks like God’s initials to me.
That long ago it probably doesn’t exist anymore, at least not in that shape.
“It blinked into existence...” amazing the nonsense people will believe.
As opposed to what?

Ya I'm a science guy for sure but I always find this big bang theory to be just total nonsense. It's just a way of stating the truth which is we don't have the first clue about the origins of the universe.
Wild!
I’ve always said that atheists have have more (misplaced) faith than anyone.
Surely, you don’t believe that voodoo about God creating the universe? Big Bang was responsible for it. They even know when Mr. Bang did it. Crazy, no leap of faith there.
Excerpts:
Einstein ring
An Einstein ring, also known as an Einstein–Chwolson ring or Chwolson ring (named for Orest Khvolson), is created when light from a galaxy or star passes by a massive object en route to the Earth. Due to gravitational lensing, the light is diverted, making it seem to come from different places. If source, lens, and observer are all in perfect alignment, the light appears as a ring.

The bending of light by a gravitational body was predicted by Albert Einstein in 1912, a few years before the publication of general relativity in 1916 (Renn et al. 1997). The ring effect was first mentioned in the academic literature by Orest Khvolson in a short article in 1924, in which he mentioned the “halo effect” of gravitation when the source, lens, and observer are in near-perfect alignment.[5] Einstein remarked upon this effect in 1936 in a paper prompted by a letter by a Czech engineer, R W Mandl [1], but stated
“Of course, there is no hope of observing this phenomenon directly. First, we shall scarcely ever approach closely enough to such a central line. Second, the angle β will defy the resolving power of our instruments.”
— Science vol 84 p 506 1936

I’m glad that Michelle Starr explained that Einstein rings are named for Albert Einstein. Otherwise I would have thought they were named for the Einstein Brothers who started that coffee-and-bagels chain.
How often have you said it?
Metal poor stars. Don’t you need at least two super nova explosions to create what we have here?
‘Q’ may have been born then.
The universe is (nearly) 14 billion years old, astronomers confirm. With looming discrepancies about the true age of the universe, scientists have taken a fresh look at the observable (expanding) universe and have estimated that it is 13.77 billion years old (plus or minus 40 million years).Jan 8, 2021
