James Webb Just Proved The Universe Is FAR Older Than We Thought

The James Webb Space Telescope pointed at the oldest darkness in the universe and found galaxies that should not exist. Massive, chemically mature, fully formed less than three hundred million years a

Addendum.- This appears to be a product formulated with IT. Stretching contents beyond patience. Adding spaced doublets with like repetitiveness. Editing out half would do wonders. Actually, more would be better.

Excellent for would be astronomers with enough knowledge to recognize the astronomers being historically discussed. Bravo. A reference work.

Imagine thinking we were so special that our universe as we know it was the only one to have a big bang! Maybe there wasn't just one big bang but there were many simultaneously occurring at a distance. Or separate events spured on by the other, fed even. The possibilities!!!!!!!!!!
@
If the universe is much older than we thought then the idea of cosmic inflation immediately after the big bang comes into question as well.
@
It is timeless. The universe, or more likely, universes, have always existed and are immeasurably larger than our small minds can grasp. It is multi-dimensional and beyond our understanding.
@
It's adorable when they talk like they know things.
@
They have no idea!
@
The Universe is infinite and it has always existed.

“13.8 billion years. Big Bang. Origin of everything.”
This is what maximal uncertainty compression sounds like.
AUR tells us the system demands it—models must converge, certainty must be declared.
But the human domain doesn’t collapse to zero entropy. It keeps generating divergence beneath the surface.
So what we call “the origin of everything” may be less a discovery—and more a temporary still point in a system that cannot stop questioning itself.

How can NASA be wrong? They are an organisation from the USA, it is the global scientific community that had a shared believe on the age of the universe - it is the James Webb telescope (An international joint venture) that provides new evidence that makes the community reach a new consensus. NASA is one of the major entities that makes this whole process possible - great job!

If the James Webb Space Telescope is showing galaxies that look older than expected, maybe our timeline of the Universe isn’t as accurate as we believed. Thank you.

Based on the ancient Puranas, the duration of the universe is around 311 trillion years. After this period, all matter will enter a non-matter state for the same duration before the universe regenerates and everything begins anew. This cyclic nature is reflected at different levels within the universe, with shorter durations. For example, partial dissolution occurs every 4.32 billion years, among other cycles, all the way down to our seasons.

cool...so fun!!
@
I shall give you a Nobel prize in Physics.
@
much spectulation..4 sure...so fun!.
@
The fact that dark matter and dark energy had to be invented to make the "Standard Model" work, strongly suggests that it is wrong.

Remember when they did the calculation on how many neutrinos, the sun should be producing and how many neutrinos that we were receiving at? And able to detect and the number didn't add up. So they took the sun's fusion reaction, which they calculated. How many neutrinos were supposed to be getting on earth? But when they tested the neutrinos, they didn't have the energy, or they didn't appear to be the numbers. Just didn't add up, and it turns out that the neutrinos oscillate, they change frequency and flavors as they're traveling to the Earth. So the number we were calculating to get from the sun. You 're not going to get it on your detectors. Because the frequency and the flavor of the neutrinos have changed. So we know that neutrinos, oscillate, we didn't know that before, but our calculation on the output of neutrinos from the sun was a hundred percent accurate, but I handed to the scientists because they took everything down piece by piece.And evaluated to make sure that our subatomic fusion reaction number from the sun was accurate and it was accurate

Es ist ein wunderbares Gefühl, wenn kosmische Wissenschaft und wenig bekanntes Wissen auf diese Weise vermittelt werden und man dabei das Gefühl hat, zu meditieren
@
this video is very insightful i am very impressed, as a non scientist this makes a lot of sense to me.

I think our universe is a giant atom, and we are part of a even bigger picture than we can fathom
