The James Webb Telescope was successfully launched yesterday, Christmas Day. It is now on route to a point about a million miles from earth where it will be in orbit around the sun and pointed out beyond the solar system. Hopefully, setting up the Webb telescope will be as successful as its launch.
Okay, so here is my question: What AMAZING discoveries do you think the Webb telescope will reveal? The Hubble telescope was able to take us back in time to very early after the creation of the universe but the Webb telescope, using infrared technology will take us back almost to the moment of the Big Bang.
The Hubble revealed that the universe is much more vast and chock full of galaxies that we ever imagined. Also one discovery that SHOCKED scientists is that the universe is expanding at an INCREASING rate rather than slowing down eventually to contract upon itself as was generally expected before the Hubbell telescope.
Given that the Webb telescope will give us a view of the universe to a point much earlier in time than the Hubble, what do you think will be discovered that we did not know before?
So maybe around July 4?
Speed of expansion might be increasing because we’re still in the early moments of the Big Bang. We might yet have far to go in Time and Space before that speed becomes constant and then, perhaps, the Whole begins to slow and fall back upon itself.
I would estimate that to be, oh, a very long Time from Now.
That as it peers deep into the tiny voids between galaxies in Hubble's deep space imagery, Webb's view to the other side is clogged by even more distant galaxies.
Air resistance mostly.
Something (or some energy force) is making that increasing rate of expansion of the universe.
No air resistance and ever decreasing gravitational pulls.
That is a good one....some guy named Brandon.
Unless you believe scripture saying there will be a new heaven/universe and a new earth.
Thanks to the new cameras, I think we’ll be able to confirm some exoplanets have genuinely-Earthlike environments at least broadly e.g. atmosphere compatible with human oxy breathers and water vapor. Maybe even a good chance of being able to rule out aspects that might prevent human habitation such as a toxic level of a trace gas (the Pandora scenario).
Less likely, but still plausible, would be the genuine detection of an alien civilization based on atmospheric signatures or surface features.
Wrong...Wrong...Wrong...
"contraction" had been dismissed before the Hubble...
Epstein didn’t kill himself..
Not if you study up on the BBT.
It’s an utter absolute denial of the Law of Actor and action....
We’ll finally have ultimate proof for the 2nd law of thermodynamics
At the edge of the universe, we’ll find a “made in china” tag
Analysis of exoplanetary atmosphere will detect the presence of hydrocarbons suggesting the use of internal combustion engines.
Industrial pollutants in the atmosphere of an exoplanet.
High salaries of all participated will be revealed. And not, it’s not such a deep secret…
NASA scientists detect parallel universe 'next to ours' where time runs bacwards
Why do you have to bring pete buttjiggler into the conversation?
The big bang, “first there was nothing and then it exploded” is on pretty solid ground. The fact that the math has not yet caught up is only slightly worry some. Now the expansion of the universe at an ever increasing rate is hard to believe since that indicates that someday the universe will be a vast nothing. That is hard to buy into.
I had always thought that the standard theory of the slow heat death of the universe over trillions of years was really depressing. The Big Rip appeals to me as a more exciting way to end the universe, and it fits the Bible’s predictions nicely where the heavens themselves will pass away in a dramatic way.
The end will be kind of like what happens in the book The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novel series.
What If the Big Rip Happened Tomorrow?

The Big Rip is a pretty cool way for God to end the story IMHO.
It might reveal there is no such thing as “dark energy”.
Cheer up, better days are coming JP
Luke 21:33 Heaven and Earth shall pass away but My Words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
Mark 12:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away.
On another note
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Surak would not cry out so.
