PSI Blog 20230403 Earliest galaxies challenge ideas about star birth in imaginary infant universe
Even Science, the journal I subscribed to for over half a century, is nervous about the coming demise of the Big Bang Theory.
“Within Pandora’s Cluster, the JWST space telescope has
spotted a few galaxies from the early universe. NASA; ESA; CSA; IVO
LABBE/SWINBURNE; RACHEL BEZANSON/UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH; ALYSSA PAGAN/STSCI”
Cosmogonists (those who assume the universe had a beginning)
cling to their “Last Creation Myth” despite all the evidence piling up
indicating the universe is infinite. Even so, the estimate that over 20
trillion galaxies exploded out of nothing has not phased believers very much.
Earliest galaxies challenge ideas about
star birth in infant universe
“Discoveries by
giant new space telescope JWST are getting too big for theorists to ignore.”
Author Daniel Clery concludes that the paradigm is just too
big to fail:
‘Few want to countenance an even more extreme option: that
the LCDM [current version of the Big Bang] model is at fault. It could be
tweaked to produce more dark matter halos or larger ones able to concentrate
gas more quickly into bigger galaxies. But theorists are loath to tinker with
it because it explains so many things so well: the observed distribution of
galaxies, the abundances of primordial gases, and the accelerating expansion of
the universe. “We’d be at risk of screwing everything else up,” Ferrara says.
“You’d need to be pretty desperate.”’
Of course, the desperation has always been there. Remember, I
listed 20 falsifications (disproofs) of the Big Bang Theory. It is a fact that
the distribution of galaxies show no expansion whatsoever, much less an accelerating
one.
The cosmogonists still are “loath to reject” the confirmation
bias engendered by Bishop Lemaître’s explosive conjecture in 1929.
