Strange New Object May Explain Early Galaxies Found By James Webb

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a discovery of a strange galaxy in the distant universe that has an enormous active black hole and produces way too many stars.

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait until 5pm for the Simpsons to be on TV.

Now I'm an adult and I can't wait until 5pm for Anton to be on TV

For as long as I can remember, anytime there’s something new or buzzing in the scientific community, Anton is always my go to for a full and understandable explanation as well as telling us the reality of what it means when something might be over hyped up and so quick with the video responses. Idk how you manage to do it every single time but you sir are a legend.

That object was just my Dad. When he was alive he used to always be up as early as he could, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he was just up and about in the early universe also. If there was much light before he was up then that’s technically a sleep in.

[MaryAnnNytowl]

I'll be watching for follow-ups to this study, for sure, since it's about one of the things from the early universe that never really made sense to me. Perhaps reading the info you always put in the description will help me – it often does!

Thank you, Anton, for all you do for us. I hope you know how appreciative we are!
❤️❤️

I value much your balance and critical thinking in explaining discoveries to people like me who are not trained in astrophysics. Thank you!

After the universe cooled down enough to emit light, particle density was extremely high. It would make sense that this would result in the rapid growth of black holes, then star clusters around the black hole, as the available matter clumped due to gravity. The amount of dust clouds around the early black holes and galaxies is evidence of how much matter there was to work with.

[nd-place]

I always hear about how the early universe was fairly opaque before becoming clear enough to see things far away. If there was that much gas and such, black holes probably formed at knots in the universe where it was denser and probably helped vacuum up a lot of this excess material. Stars condensed out of the remainder. Makes a lot of sense to me?

I'm 55, about to be 56 in June, and my one GREATEST regret is that I didn't fight HARDER when I got booted from my Science Astronomy class in high school because it was over crowded.... Sure, I tried to keep up with everything... Reading books, papers, searching the web, following people like Anton here... but in the long run, I still feel like I really missed out on a possible career I could love and still dream about to this day. Myself and four others passed a second day test with flying colors! Who knew that THAT would mean we had to leave the class so DUMBER people who probably didn't even care about stars and the universe, but rather an easy science credit, got to stay on and learn NOTHING! Breaks my heart sometimes when I see history repeat itself and I see a student not getting the class he/she wanted to go into because they were so facinated by the subject!

[valerieprice]

Another amazing video. I'm learning so much from your easy to understand presentation. Keep up the great work!

Would be interesting to have radio observation follow-ups for some of these objects detected by JWST, as galaxies with a high star formation rate are easily visible at radio wavelengths, though they are mostly quite faint and may be undetectable. Currently, based on my research I doubt there is a significant population of undetected star-forming galaxies, as this would show up in radio data.

edit: This object does have radio observations at 3 different frequencies as it was detected in different surveys, Anton is getting me to read papers just like my supervisor :D

[stargazer]

Great info Anton, and thank you. It's beginning to look like the early universe had a MUCH higher density of matter during the time period when the first galaxies formed than what was originally suspected. This singular and simplistically expressed suggestion could bring all of the apparent oddities that have been seen in to sharp focus.

[rezadaneshi]

I have to pause to comment, Anton, You are one of the very few sources that I surrender to with trust for learning

[alskidan]

I’m thrilled how scientists are able to figure out the mass, shape and composition of distant galaxies by staring at a 8x8 blob of white pixels 👏

[michaeltape]

That was truly interesting. Too bad I can't come away feeling this way by watching the regular news. Thanks Anton.

[paulwalsh]

It always puzzled me... how... if the universe was in such a hot dense state at the big bang, why didn't it just collapse into a black hole immediately ? This seems to me to be another line of evidence that gravity is mediated by a particle and these particles had to condense out of the primordial haze at the initial stage of the universe after the elementary particles condensed into the primordial atoms of hydrogen and helium, the recombination epoch.
If the inflation era occurred before the graviton existed then there would logically have existed, pockets of spacetime that were causially disconnected from each other and these were the precursors to the super and hyper massive black holes which would gorge themselves on the primordial gas of the baby universe condensing that matter into the very early galaxies JWST is now seeing and kickstarting the massive black holes this implies.

[charlesjmouse]

'Dust'...
I know it's far from the main question at hand but I wonder what such 'dust' could be made of so early in the universe?

Always excellent, thank you Anton.

[wobh]

Shot in the dark but things were a lot denser back then, weren't they? I feel like that would speed things up as far as galaxy and black hole formation.

[kenmccarty]

Primordial black holes and a lot of them. But perhaps primarily the large ones that ultimately created most of the galaxies

[jackalovski]

These sorts of discoveries really show the importance of radio telescopes. Hopefully it’ll encourage the science community to make the successor to the JWST with a space based radio telescope. Something big that can only be assembled in space with the help of the new generation of heavy and super heavy lift vehicles currently in development.

Anton I love this video and you do such a bang up job of these daily postings. Could I ask you to do a video about what's been discovered in the Zone of Avoidance Super interesting funds of recent
