To some degree you are right. But I would rather see money spent on projects like this than continually being spent on useless, lazy, and irresponsible people with no desire to better themselves by earning both what they want and what they need by working.

An explosion forces everything out from the point of the blast..

Look at how the universe has objects moving in multiple directions.

Not possible from a massive explosion or even a little one.

It’s a sham.

Perhaps, I suppose.

However, we can’t even get a consensus om the contrived nature of the Covid & vaccine scam and this is right in our face with people dying daily while the rich get richer and more powerful.

Whatever else happens, if the useless, lazy, and irresponsible occasionally vote, I expect they will continue to get theirs.

“stars form when enough dust gathers in one place.”

Huh? The article points out that the early universe had nothing but a lot of hydrogen and a bit of helium floating around. There were NO heavier elements that would comprise dust. Somehow the hydrogen and helium accreted to form a star and ignition started. Heavier elements were formed deep in the star. After the star went supernova at the end of its life, those heavier elements were distributed throughout the universe.

Well then, there’s about to be a huge star burst underneath my sofa!

There was no big bang, and the universe is not 14 billion years old, and there was something there before what we can ‘see’ or observe. That we can only ‘see’ at about 14 billion light years ago, does not mean that there isn’t something beyond.

And, it we see what occurred some 14 billion years ago, everything out that far is NOW dead or evolved into something different. We can’t observe what there is there now.

That galaxy went through a lot of trouble to be left alone, and we found it anyway.

It’s not either/ or. There’s tons of projects going on. Some using telescopes that are good for extreme distance, some using telescopes that aren’t.

Hah! Mine, too. I have enough separate areas to form a tiny galaxy.

- A hilarious adverb used here. -

Indeed. Now, if they had said "... 367.428 million years..." we could be far more sure about their precision. ;-)

As I was reading this article, Karen Carpenter showed up in my mind, singing "Close to You."

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue...
But then as I read on:

"The work of JWST has only just begun...

😆

Educate yourself. The Big Bang was not an explosion. The Big Bang refers to the observation that on cosmic scales objects are all receding from earth, and furthermore the rate at which they are receding is directly proportional to their distance from earth. As you might expect there are objects that are traveling toward earth, or along tangential paths, but these are local objects that are gravitationally bound within our galaxy. Outside the galaxy, the situation is as I described— all galaxies are receding from us, with more distant ones receding faster.

Now you can believe the model or not, but at least get the details right and don’t argue against straw men. The Big Bang simply refers to the fact that if everything is currently receding from us, the best explanation for that is that the space (technically spacetime) between us and those other objects is expanding. This means that matter in the universe is becoming less dense over time, and that the universe is getting colder over time. Logically, then this implies that in the past the universe must have been more dense and hotter. This hot dense state is the origin of the Big Bang.

This state was hot enough that ordinary matter would not have existed. Matter would have formed via pair production from the energetic radiation that was dominate in the early universe. The first matter would not have been in the form of atoms but rather free electrons and quarks. The quarks combined into free protons and neutrons as the universe further expanded. These neutrons and protons combined to form helium nuclei, with most protons left free. Hence we get the primal abundance of hydrogen and helium predicted by the model - another observation explained by it.

This plasma was not transparent to electromagnetic radiation, which still permeated the universe. Even if stars had formed at this point, light from them would have been absorbed by the plasma comprising all the matter in the universe. As the universe cooled more though neutral atoms formed with the result that the universe became transparent. Therefore the radiation permeating the universe was free to travel everywhere within it. Well, that radiation is still permeating the universe. It is now much less energetic because of the cooling and expansion of space, so it no longer is gamma radiation or x-rays, but rather is microwave radiation- another observation predicted and explained by the model.

There are other more technical observations supporting the BB, but I’m not an astrophysicist so I’m not sure I can adequately explain them. The point though is that “There was no Big Bang because an explosion wouldn’t dlook like this” attempt to discredit the mode is really a lame and bogus argument. Please do educate yourself on the actual model, what it predicts and how well those predictions match actual observations. You might well learn something in the process and you might be less inclined to present overly simplistic arguments against scientific theories like the Big Bang
