Webb Telescope Looked Very Deep into the Early Universe And found surprising galaxies

When some scientists took a closer look at recent Webb images, they found that some of the galaxies were not only larger and more organized, but surprisingly they started forming stars earlier, making current theories more suspicious.
Here's what astronomers say about this unexpected discovery,

Researchers, on the other hand, claim that in the recent image obtained from the Webb telescope, they found some early galaxies also contain large amounts of heavy elements that are not possible with their age according to our current model.
Scientists detected elements heavier than helium and hydrogen, such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. The amazing fact is that our Sun is 4 billion years old, and most of its heavier metals are inherited from previous generations of stars, which took about 8 billion years to form.
So how is it possible that within just 1 billion years the stars in a galaxy begin to form heavy elements? Such questions have plagued scientists ever since the Webb telescope began its scientific mission.

But the real problem is that some scientists are saying that the early universe in the Webb images doesn't look that different from our current universe. So, if in the future when Webb probes more deeply into the early universe and finds similar galaxies and stars there, it will surely be a big problem in astronomy.

Even the early data from The Webb Telescope say, we may have already observed the possible distances, and what Webb found is completely identical to our current universe. In a research paper, astronomers are claiming that the Webb telescope has discovered galaxies with a red shift of 20 that are older than the Big Bang.
If this discovery is true then how did the universe come into existence? This question will be a headache for scientists.

I find myself sometimes wishing I could travel 100, 000 yrs into the future to see how our understanding of the universe has evolved.

I swear the more I learn about the Universe these days the more it feels God-like. Just think about it. No beginning. No end. Timelessness. Something from nothing. The list goes on.

In the 1990s I summed up a concept of the universe "if you looked far enough in a direction you'd see yourself looking back." I've learned what I sketched out was a description of the fourth dimension. This can't be what's happening here. But I am very intrigued. Thank you.

A couple solutions: 1, our method of determining the age of the universe is flawed. Or 2, if we're in a simulation it stands to reason that locally things are unique, but father away become "auto-generated." Therefore appearances and ages/development end up being duplicated, abstract from the overall picture.

"Could it be a nightmare for science?"
I checked out after this. Science is not religion. Unlike religion, science TRIVES on new facts, new information, what we think being challenged or found wrong. THAT is how we learn and expand our understanding. Not by being afraid we aren't omniscient.

[Krakondack]

By the end, one is forced to conclude that the introductory stuff was wrong. We don't know how stars or galaxies are formed, we don't know how the universe came about. We know essentially nothing.

I find it interesting the commentator used terms like "headache for scientists." More like a celebration for scientists. Finding something we didn't expect is a much more exciting result that finding what we did expect. So many more big and exciting questions to explore.

I think an explanation could be that there was always a universe and the big bang was only the explosion of a tiny dot in it. It didn't created a new universe. And these galaxies far far away are just outside the region the big bang created.

Best discovery till now, Webb is an amazing space machine

[batguano]

The main reason why we struggle to understand the universe is because it's beyond our understanding. The human condition can only deal in the finite with a beginning and an end. When in all probability the universe is eternal and has no beginning or end.

[MrGchiasson]

One thing I've learned....
"Science" is considered to be absolutely correct by the experts...
right up until the moment it's proven wrong or incomplete.

The Webb telescope is telling us that we are still mixing bowls of Henna to make Handprints on the cave walls.

[garyfilmer]

The incredible work of the JWST is simply jaw dropping! Galaxies older than the Big Bang? Multiverse? Infinity? Big questions for hard science! Excellent video, thank you.

[ronagoodwell]

I just asked ChatGPT to explain this anomaly of the earliest galaxies in the universe being the same as our later stage developed galaxies and it said that the early universe might have been hotter and denser and these different conditions might allow for accelerated development. For what it's worth AI doesn't know any more than we do about this.

[lantastic]

I asked a question to a well known physicist who I met many years ago. I asked him if there was a possibility that distant quasars were actually mature galaxies that we were observing in the distant past. (Thinking that the 4 dimensional aspect of the universe reduced one dimension looks like a toroid or donut, and what we see is the inside surface, and we exist on the equatorial center line of that donut with the equator as the “present”). If that were so, then couldn’t one of those distant quasars be our Milky Way, in its earliest infancy? He simply replied no, as the universe wasn’t THAT curved.

Now we have James Webb. Could we be looking so far into the past, that we are actually looking at ourselves, not in the mirror, but see ourselves looking out the front door, from the back door? I know this is Wile E. Coyote logic, but this is a James Webb level question.

[pmichaelbowden]

According to the cosmological model, the earliest stars were very large, which means they would have burned out quickly. Quickly enough to have several generations of stars in a much smaller time period than expected, each donating it's load of newly made elements to the mix.

[zontarr-zon]

Before I learned in school that the Universe started with BigBang I knew, somehow, the Universe never started but is infinite, what has no beginning has no end.

[Anita_original]

The false assumption is "when we look at the early universe". This leads to contradictions that would not exist if you just realize that the Big-Bang theory is false. A steady state universe would show far away galaxies as similar to nearby since age is not equivallent to distance... What Webb really shows are faulty assumptions in todays models.
And, yes, the Big-Bang is based on red-shift, so why not dig deeper what the red-shift is instead of ASSUMING it means expansion?

[robloxgames]

Maybe it never started in the first place but 13.4b years ago or whenever it was "born" it was just some era that made us think that it was start of the universe

[davidblack]

So glad Webb has functioned properly and great report on new stuff that has stunned Astronomers and Scientists. Plenty of theories to shatter and new ones to think about, nothing wrong with that. May just come back around to "And God said let there be light, " and also "My thoughts are not man's thoughts!"
