Over the past several weeks, NASA's ultra-powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has allowed humankind some unprecedented glimpses into the farthest reaches of our universe. And unsurprisingly, some of these dazzling new observations have raised more questions than they've answered.
For a long time, for instance, scientists believed the universe's earliest, oldest galaxies to be small, slightly chaotic, and misshapen systems. But according to the Washington Post, JWST-captured imagery has revealed those galaxies to be shockingly massive, not to mention balanced and well-formed — a finding that challenges, and will likely rewrite, long-held understandings about the origins of our universe.
"The models just don't predict this," Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California at Santa Cruz, told WaPo. "How do you do this in the universe at such an early time? How do you form so many stars so quickly?"

They should have asked astrophysicists, not models.
“Scientists”. Along with “experts”, doctors, nurses and politicians, can’t tell you who I trust less…
“... it’s revealing new, exciting stuff about our mind-bogglingly expansive universe, answering old questions and asking new ones along the way.”
That’s what science is supposed to do. We don’t know it all and never will, but we can keep exploring, asking, learning more along the way.
Thank you for posting this.
1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
With apologies to Arthur Clarke:
“Any sufficiently advanced woke science is indistinguishable from magic.”
“Scientists” these days just throw excrement at the wall to see what sticks—as long as they keep getting their grant money everything is good.
Cosmic Warming!
It probably isn’t there anymore.
“How do you do this in the universe at such an early time? How do you form so many stars so quickly?”

“My God, it’s full of stars!”
This has been written about extensively. Essentially the Big Bang is dead.
Anybody with any sense had it dead a long time ago due to the missing dark matter and dark energy.
This is the final nail in that coffin.
IOW, as we already know, “The Science”(TM) is NOT settled. Thus, we need not listen as the COVIDiots insisted.
Theories can either be scrapped or modified. What you need to disprove one is totally contradictory evidence, or evidence that supports a competing theory. A few anomalies are not enough.
There’s no such thing as gravity as a force. That’s hard to let go.
They can’t figure out something so simple as the origins of the universe, but they can predict climate to the exact year the earth is going to end.
Wait, you mean the government-funded computer models didn’t predict things correctly?
Son-of-a-bitch......
The Big Bang “theory” was wacky speculation from day one.
If they had called it the Big Bang Hypothesis that would have been a better representation of what was happening.
Curious how they even know which direction would be the center of the universe?

There is technically is no “center” to the universe as by definition, the universe is everything. Some think that if you traveled far enough out in a straight line, you’d eventually end up back where you started. It’s the 4-dimensional equivalent of a 2-dimensional object moving on the surface of a 3-dimensional sphere. No matter what direction the 2-dimensional object travels, it winds up back where it started.
Wait for it...... There was no big bang.
