Origin of existence: Big Bang theory and other challenges from James Webb

The study of mysterious celestial objects discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals the identification of luminous objects within the time span of 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang.

Science Daily reports in a recent publication that findings from the study of objects discovered by James Webb challenge the conventional theory of the universe’s origin.

Last July, the James Webb Space Telescope released stunning images of the “Web Nebula,” indicating its existence approximately 830 million years after the Big Bang.

Scientists’ study of these objects suggests that these luminous entities do not easily fit into current theories about the universe’s origin, despite the success of the Big Bang theory in human understanding of cosmic origins.

Science Daily quoted one of the researchers in this study as saying, “Finding ancient stars in a very young universe was completely unexpected.”

According to him, standard cosmology and galaxy formation models have been incredibly successful, yet these luminous entities do not easily fit into these theories.

Analysis of the data obtained shows that at least three luminous objects have been identified in a universe only 600 to 800 million years old, which the Big Bang theory struggles to justify.

In July last year, after the James Webb Telescope shocked cosmology enthusiasts with stunning images of the Web Galaxy, Science Daily reported: “This issue suggests the existence of streams of gases and stars in a universe before the Big Bang, leading some scientists to conclude that the Big Bang may be just one stage in the evolution of the cosmos and that there may have been another era before it.”

It should be noted that an international team led by researchers at Penn State, using NIRSpec on JWST as part of the RUBIES survey, has worked on this.

Joel Leja, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State and one of the authors of the final paper of this study, said, “It’s very confusing. You can fit these [new findings] unpleasantly into our current model (Big Bang) of the universe, but only if at the beginning [something] triggered a strange, crazy, rapid formation.”
