The most distant rotating galaxy hails from 13.3 billion years ago. The galaxy started spinning just 500 million years after the Big Bang

Point the Webb telescope at it
It almost seems as if the Hubble will become a ‘finder’ for interesting things to point the Webb at!

Well, some theorize that there was a “Big Crunch” before the Big Bang.
And that the Universe goes thru cycles of Expansion and Contraction, ad infinitum........................

Sounds plausible, sorta like the universe is breathing.

And yet the speed at which the universe is expanding is increasing.
Seems counterintuitive, no? Given that the next scheduled event is a contraction or crunch?

This IS from the Webb!Sorry, Red, but nope.
"Now, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile for about two months in 2018, Inoue and colleagues have measured more subtle differences in how that light is shifted across the galaxy’s disk.
However..."The James Webb Space Telescope will observe JD1 in the next year to reveal more clues to how that galaxy, and others like ours, formed."

"And yet the speed at which the universe is expanding is increasing."
Agreed. IMHO that puts to rest the oscillating universe theory. So yes, there was a big bang a long time ago, before even Joe Biden was born. But it was probably a one-time event.

Have to ask where the thingie that went blooie came from to produce all this. Four simple words.

Expansion would seem to be infinite. Yet it has to slow down at some point. Perhaps.
Where does dark matter fit in? Does it? I too believe this iteration of the universe to be a "one off".
