What has the James Webb Space Telescope learned so far? Is it finding galaxies that “break” cosmology? What will we learn next? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!

Keep those questions about space, science, astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology coming to #AskASpaceman for COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME AND SPACE!

Those AI "science channels" are soooo annoying! They ramble on about this or that & pull viewers away from excellent channels like this.

Thank you Paul! The “interesting” thing to me is that a preponderance of the stuff we see (dark matter and energy) is not predicted by theory and not understood. This means it’s “possible” we are missing something fundamental. I agree we don’t want to be to quick to throw out our theories but let’s face it - dark stuff is humbling - the failure of Supersymmetry was humbling - but the beauty of science is that it’s mandatory that we admit we are dead wrong when the evidence compels. Thanks again.

Stock videos make the most convincing scientific arguments.

If your cosmology has been broken please check your warranty and call customer service to schedule for repair or replacement.

I like how your videos go because there’s a feeling of Podcast to it, not sounding scripted even if we don’t see you talking. 🧐

[EL_DUDERIN]

Another great video, you're an awesome science explainer dude, Paul!

[JohnMcGuire-yb]

Finally, a voice of reason to place JWST findings in context, to counteract all of the AI narrated sensationalist bollocks on here. Thank you❤

[peterjones]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[chrissscottt]

Cool vid. I prefer the term "mistaken" to "stupid" though.

[irrefudiate]

Not a scientist and I have no math skills whatsoever, but I find the trials and tribulations of cutting-edge science to be worthwhile and interesting to watch. I have pet peeves with loosey-goosey word definitions, though... "space, fabric of space, singularity, existence, non-existence" are a few words and phrases that, to me, need to be defined.

[everybodywazzup]

Great video, I will be subscribing to this channel. I agree with other commenters, there is so much garbage out there that pretends to be scientific. Finding genuinely rigorous content such as yours is a breath of fresh air!

[spencerholmes]

Truly excellent, Paul. Another ‘Big Banger’ 😊

[billmerrell]

What I can't get a handle on is that before the big bang, where did all the matter come from that is squished into a point that banged in the first place?

[rachelwren-vipond]

But does this allow for Fred Hoyle 's theory of a steady state universe. But with bubbles? 😊

[davemi]

Hello
As a fellow sutter I had to Sub.

[FrankMerton]

Yes, missed you. I have seen science, and, indeed, all human knowledge, compared to a huge edifice constantly being enlarged, where from time to time some part has to be renovated or altered, but the edifice remains.

[donbrunton]

In a more compact, early universe, it's not surprising that star, galaxy, and black hole formation would be excelarated. The shock waves from the expansion epoch might have caused baryonic matter to jump the stellar phase and collapse into black holes.

A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do... im just happy there are humans with his intelligence and guile still making honest videos... no shame, he has to eat people! Or you could be a patrion, if you don't like the advertising....

I think so. I think mass is why the universe expands. We see it more when primordial holes join 💥but, that displacement is expanding the universe at different rates and collapsing at different rates depending on the density of the object, I believe. Just like a rock under water traveling would displace the liquid around the rock, so goes with space itself. Room. Volume. The potential for motion. An absence of mass. Earth is quite sponge like, yet a black hole is packed to the brim, molecular motion stops, time is almost gone, just like you freeze a steak to keep it longer. With those kinds of flying absolute zero temperature masses under tremendous compression, they act like a pipe outside and inside. Inside subcooling, outside superheat. In HVAC we learn that you can manipulate pressure in order to draw heat from a cooler area, and compress it enough to make it escape into a hotter area, as you know heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower, but not absolutely. Because what if you need to take a little bit of heat out of a small object like a house, and add it to a bigger/hotter more dense gas outside under atmospheric pressures, we can superheat Freon and subcool it as a gas, so that got me thinking, dark matter might be energy in the form of storm force. Attraction.

Either the redshifts are 'nailed down' or they are not. You have claimed both at your own convenience. That or I misunderstand your discussion. How you get an uncertainty as you have claimed based on spectroscopic footprints does not seem realistic. I guess the real problem is the cosmological geometry, which you've somewhat avoided in the discussion for simplicity. Sure would be nice to cut inflation out. Sure would be nice to find simplicity along the way. Polysign numbers yield emergent spacetime:

Consider a three-signed number system. Whereas the familiar two-signed system states that
-x+x=0
the three-signed system will by symmetry require:
-x+x*x=0
where '*' is clearly a new third sign, and this explicit P3 reuses the symbols of P2, but each is its own domain, so that we must explicitly state which we are in unless of course we are working in Pn, and these systems do generalize this way. P1, P2, P3, P4, and so on exist and arithmetic products based on the modulo behavior of the signatures are readily available, retaining familiar algebraic concepts in Pn. Yes, there are peculiarities, such as the zero dimensional nature of P1, but each requires its own geometry, with P3 forming the plane already through the initial law of balance. That no Cartesian product is necessary to generate general dimensional space ought to cause your jaw to drop. That P3 are already the complex numbers, though they are in a new suit of clothes whose laws exactly match your supposedly fundamental P2, which is only just proven non-fundamental, ought to have you dropping what, your pants too?

The simplex coordinate system and the signon lead the way now. Emergent spacetime is available through this new geometric algebra, and how the human race has overlooked this option for so long; for so many greats to neglect this; this then suggests a shortcoming of the human mind. That we are merely an early instance of symbol crunching animal is a fairly plausible declaration. That our language may not be fully evolved and that we exist in an accumulation of detail that we all mimic ad nauseum to become straight A's; these posits are fairly strong in hindsight of polysign.

You can find the geometry yourself. You can find the product. The rewrite of the modern accumulation in the polysign context is undone. The existence of polysign exposes that just one or two other overlooked frameworks which the human has habitually inhibited from existence are again plausible. Polysign is but a step along the way; one which you likely will fail to explore. Still, if you take the challenge and you make it through you may find my statements here sensible.
