James
Webb Space Telescope paradox resolved with yet another ad hoc.

It
had to happen. Cosmogonists just achieved salvation once again. No admission the
universe is infinite, just another bunch of calculations to stumble over the “elderly
galaxies” problem. Any cosmogonists paying attention knew spiral galaxies could
not form in the mere 300 to 450
million years allotted by the recent JWST photos.
The “new” research published in the vaunted “Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society” surreptitiously rejects Einstein’s Untired Light Theory. It grants that light might lose energy over distance as maintained by Infinite Universe Theory, but keeps the erroneous universal expansion interpretation in place. Energy loss over distance so obviously implies the universal expansion idea is bogus. The author just doesn’t get it and the reporter can’t manage a challenge to the silliness.
According
to science reporter Bernard Rizk:
“Moreover,
Gupta [author of the paper] suggests that the traditional interpretation of the
"cosmological constant," which represents dark energy responsible for
the accelerating expansion of the universe, needs revision. Instead, he
proposes a constant that accounts for the evolution of the coupling constants.”
That
should get Gupta into trouble with other cosmogonists who dearly love that
constant and the fictitious “Dark Energy” that supposedly was the “cause” of
the Big Bang. I doubt this ad hoc will get any traction with that crowd. On the
other hand, any ad hoc is just as good as another.
So
here is the first “elderly galaxies” ad hoc I am aware of.
Read it and weep:
