When the Universe Broke the Rules: Webb Spots “Impossible” Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

WEBB PING!........................

[Red Badger]

Maybe the Universe is far older than they calculated. WAAAAAY older...........

[rktman]

Butt, butt, butt......I could have sworn they weren’t possible. 🚀

[Red Badger]

Who you gonna believe?

Your computer or your lyin’ eyes?......................

[Red Badger]

“...And the big surprise is that with JWST, we see roughly 10 times more galaxies than expected at these incredible distances....”

Then, obviously your calculations were off by at least a factor of 10, which is ‘astronomical’!

Perhaps you should just look out there and see what’s what before making any substantial theories.

Or just believe in God and let Him worry about that stuff.............

“Since the telescope turned on we’ve been wondering ‘Are these JWST datasets breaking the cosmological model?’”

“Democratization of science”

——————————————

Once again, supposedly very smart people demonstrating some rather incredible stupidity.

Just wait til they hit the 15.8 billion year images…

smh

Not the best description I’ve encountered.
Must be out there somewhere.

Something is very wrong with cosmology. Of course, I have no idea what that is. One possibility is that the baseline assumption that physical laws don’t change over time is just wrong.

[rktman]

🤔. Well, my passport has lapsed so I can’t go anyway.

Are these JWST datasets breaking the cosmological model? Because the universe was producing too much light too early; it had only about 400 million years to form something like a billion solar masses of stars. We just do not know how to make that happen.”

God knows

[SunkenCiv]

Whoever “they” are. “They” have been trying to keep it all from everyone else, huh? JWST has better capability than previous orbital observatories, which in their time were the best things going. It’s not surprising at all that new information is available. It’s exactly how the scientific method is supposed to work.

[Red Badger]

The farther away something is, the more Red Shifted its light is.

Until eventually it is shifted into the Infra-Red part of the spectrum, and becomes impossible to see with our eyes.

But, just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean there is nothing there.

There may be galaxies without number farther out there than we can possibly imagine. We just can’t detect them from where we are.

All our ‘knowledge’ of the timescale of the Universe may be nothing but trash............

[TexasFreeper2009]

why cant they just admit they are wrong about the age of the universe? they are so stuck on the time frame they cant see the obvious

[Red Badger]

We had ‘consensus’.................until we didn’t..............

[HombreSecreto]

Or just believe in God and let Him worry about that stuff.............

I’ll go with that. Besides scripture says He’s going to make a new heaven and new earth, so we’ll see it when it happens. My current guess is that He may follow a similar process.

Regardless, it will be very cool to see!

[SunkenCiv]

That’s not even close.

[Red Badger]

Correct.

They have calculated the age of the Universe at something like 14 billion years, based on their current understanding, which turns out to be woefully inadequate when something like this comes along and throws a monkey wrench into the machine...............

[Red Badger]

I was paraphrasing Algore...................
