We were like, yeah, we'll try to answer that if you want.

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?"

THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!!! REEEEEE
Like a slice of chorizo?!
Same models they use on global warming... They don’t work right either
Then I hope your Guidebook is the latest edition.
The scientists are unsettled.
Gee Garth, maybe your models aren't so accurate and the universe is bigger and more mysterious than previously thought.
Wait. WAIT!! We didn’t know we didn’t know this before we went looking for it?

I suppose if you choose to ignore all the evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, it might seem unlikely. But it exists in abundance despite not knowing about it. The theory itself does not necessarily say the universe started from a singularity at a specific point in time. That is extrapolated based on what we see today, and based on predictions that have been observed after the fact. But if there is another theory that better matches observation, no one has yet proposed it. By the way, it was not originally called “Big Bang”. That is a term coined by someone who was not a proponent of it and didn’t understand it.
Six days of work.......
I’ve heard otherwise. I’ve heard there is a center and everything is traveling further away from it. So I’m guessing they look at what direction our galaxy is moving relative to others and “plot the center”. But to me that is one big assumption.
If the models don’t match actual observations, the theory is incorrect. A lesson not yet accepted by the climate model hoaxers.
A funny meme I saw recently had the pictures from this with all the colors etc., alongside a very, very grainy picture of the person who put the pipe bomb down on Jan 6. The point was such a clear pic from millions of miles away but they couldn’t even round up this guy from Jan 6 because the picture was so bad.
“Prominent Nazi physicists even accused him of promulgating disreputable “Jewish science.””
ROTFLMAO! That was not science speaking. That was a dude keeping the SS away.
So for those who actually are interested in this topic I would recommend the YouTube video linked here for a good explanation.

The key point is that scientists had hypothesized the size of the very early galaxies in the Universe using models that included some initial parameters like energy density and gravitational forces. When they looked at the JWST pictures and saw these for the first time, they were “bigger” than expected. So, the Universe has the final word on what is “real” and the scientists just need to understand what parameters they got wrong when they built their models. Kind of like climate change that predicted much warmer temperatures than we are seeing now.
If they thought the science was ‘settled’, they’re not scientists.
most mathematical models used to predict things where have lots of assumptions because of incomplete or inaccurate info...This is why I laugh at climate alarmist that point to mathematical models....when they talk about temperature readings over the last 100 years I ask how many of those readings were originally in rural areas that are not rural any more...The asphalt and cement in cities can throw off the readings by as much as 5 degrees because of radiant heat in the area... the climate alarmist who use mathematical models have this flaw built into their predictions of runaway temperatures.... it’s not verry surprising to me that the mathematical models are not predicting what the telescope is revealing. When dealing with the unknown you just don’t know.
I'm mildly curious as to what point you think that makes ... please elaborate.
Just so!
