JWST Finds 6 Ancient Galaxies That Shatter Our Understanding of The Universe

The James Webb Space Telescope has just made a mind-blowing discovery that could change our understanding of the universe.
The JWST, a super-powerful telescope, has detected six massive galaxies that many scientists believed were impossible. In fact, these galaxies are so large that they might just shatter our scientific understanding of the universe as we know it.

It takes billions of years for a galaxy as big as the Milky Way, with at least 100 billion stars, to form. However, the JWST has identified six galaxies that exist just half a billion years after the big bang, and they're up to ten times bigger than our own Milky Way!

Scientists previously thought that galaxies this big couldn't exist in the early universe, but the evidence from the JWST is clear. It looks like we might have to tear up the science books and start rethinking everything we thought we knew about the history of the universe.

I think it’s silly to think we know everything about the universe this early on into our history. Even millions of years down the line, if we’re still around somewhere in the cosmos, we’ll still be asking questions about the universe.

There’s a good chance the universe is much older than we think. There’s also a chance that our universe is a lot larger, and that it might not be the first universe, or might be one universe of many. We just don’t know. Maybe the universe has no end. Again, we just don’t know. Read those text books all you want, they’ll be highly outdated by the next century.

We look back 14 billion years and what do we see? Fully formed galaxies.

It's wild to think you're looking back in time when you look through a telescope. I love space, but sometimes it hurts my head😂

[tonyhutto]

I think Eternity has no end (nor a beginning)

When the universe was smaller, the overall gravitational field was also stronger on average. This dilated time to give galaxies time to grow.

darn, we have to tear up more science books? let me put my mask on first

[Trentberkeley]

I’ve never actually heard an astrophysicist say they knew everything about the universe, only people in the YouTube comment section.

What do you do if you're an astronomy major or, worse, PhD candidate, and your field of "expertise" is a fucking moving target almost by the day? How do you just roll with this? How do you not just pull your hair out, throw all your papers in the air, and become a biology major?

[RJay]

What if the Universe is much much older than we thought?

[fpbibi]

Take a shot every time he says James Webb Space Telescope.

[ThekGaming]

Why is it so hard for these 'scientists' ... To imagine an INFINITE universe??

[richardlee]

There's so much more that we don't know.

[Euthivolos]

The calculations we did prior did not support the existence of such big galaxies is such an early age of the bang, but then again we still dont know how dark energy works, that may be the key in the expanse and the formation of such large galaxies so early in history.

[valen]

now I can't wait until we can see past these galaxies, what will there be?? nothing? more galaxies? I don't know!

[krisdunwoody]

Need to build ten more James Webb Telescopes, put two of them on Planet Mars and two on the back side of the Moon.

[nailsageyoda]

If this means the universe is most likely older than we think, I always thought that. Like seriously, I get that 13 billion years is an incredibly long time but do you not think it seems like a small amount of time for how long the entire universe has existed?

[JayaprakashHJ]

So, this telescope can see things that are 13-14 billions of light years away😮 where one light year alone is 9.5 trillion kms.
Mind-blowing 😮
What's even astonishing is that this distance is not even horizon(if exist) of our universe.

I have a theory that lines up with what we know. Let me explain. Think of being underwater. If you were a deep diver, your lungs would be compressed significantly by the increase in pressure from the water. The more shallow you are the more your lungs can expand. In the early universe when it was much more compressed, it would have been much more difficult for objects with mass to curve the much denser spacetime, meaning less time dilation. As the universe expands/accelerates the galaxies nearer to the edge are in much thinner spacetime allowing significant time dilation relative to our position. This would explain how they can be further along than we expect. They have experienced more time relative to us.

once again I find myself faced with the catatonic option. thanks.

Actually before the Big Bang Theory is Friends, and then Young Sheldon.
