A gravitational lens is a massive object, such as a cluster of galaxies, that magnifies light from galaxies that are farther away and which would otherwise not be observable. Credit: Caltech

If they were “known” galaxies why were they looking for them?

Astronomers Claim to Find Most Distant Known Galaxies

Wonder how they ‘evolved’?
did they find K-PAX?
I like Galaxies. Here's a '63 convertible.
Someone on another board asked something I’m not sure what the answer to is, so I’ll let some of you take a stab at it:
To paraphrase the question:
- matter can’t travel faster than light
- there was no matter/light/galaxies before the big bang
so how can we have all the matter for a Milky way galaxy get so far away from an ‘original’ galaxy’ in time for that matter to form the Milky way and earth in time for humans here to still see the light from that galaxy so near to the big bang?
Just part of the evil astronomers plot to turn people away from biblical truth.
We know the universe is about 6000 years old. All fields that believe contrary to this should not be taught in public schools unless the alternative (and only one alternative) is taught alongside it. (/ sarc added for the sarcasm challenged.)
I'm guessing English 101 isn't what it used to be...
