James Webb Telescope Unveils 7 Enormous Structures at the Edge of the Observable Universe! (Eyes200M)


James Webb Telescope Unveils 7 Enormous Structures at the Edge of the Observable Universe!
The Big Bang is the defining narrative of modern cosmology: a bold declaration that our universe had a beginning and has a finite age, just like the humans who live within it. That finite age, in turn, is defined by the evidence that the universe is expanding. Those two ideas — a singular cosmic beginning, followed by billions of years of cosmic growth — are so strange that some people have never made peace with them. As a result, skeptics have been questioning the validity of the Big Bang model for as long as there has been a Big Bang model.
Among mainstream cosmologists, doubts about the Big Bang largely melted away in the 1960s with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background–an omnidirectional buzz of radiation that makes sense only as a relic from the hot, early era of the universe.




The red shifts in the light coming from distant object is supposed to show that the universe is expanding, but sites like Whatreallyhappened.com have asked whether the red shifts are simply due to distance and not a function of an expanding universe. In that model there would be no Big Bang, with objects like galaxies simply moving around in, perhaps, random directions. The further we look outwards with telescopes the more stuff we see in what could stretch out forever? 

The interpretation of the microwave background radiation is likely wrong too. It's mapped shape may be a function of what we can observe, and not its true shape or representation of its origin.
