PSI Blog 20240603 Big Bang Theory Falsification No. 24: 290 Million-Year-Old Elderly Galaxy Contains Oxygen.
Oops! Our own Sun is 4600 million years old, converts
hydrogen into helium, and is not expected to produce oxygen for at least
another 3 billion years.
“This infrared image from NASA’s James Webb Space
Telescope (also called Webb or JWST) was taken by the NIRCam (Near-Infrared
Camera) for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, program. The
NIRCam data was used to determine which galaxies to study further with
spectroscopic observations. One such galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the
pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.32 (+0.08/-0.20), making it
the current record-holder for the most distant known galaxy. This corresponds to
a time less than 300 million years after the big bang.
In the background image, blue represents light at 0.9, 1.15, and 1.5 microns
(filters F090W + F115W + F150W), green is 2.0 and 2.77 microns (F200W + F277W),
and red is 3.56, 4.1, and 4.44 microns (F356W + F410M + F444W). The pullout
image shows light at 0.9 and 1.15 microns (F090W + F115W) as blue, 1.5 and 2.0
microns (F150W + F200W) as green, and 2.77 microns (F277W) as red.

Another great heads up from George Coyne:
“Glenn,
The JWST finds galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 existed only 290
million years after the big bang. NASA knows that this galaxy was already old
at this point: "The presence of oxygen so early in the life of this galaxy
is a surprise and suggests that multiple generations of very massive stars had
already lived their lives before we observed the galaxy."
As reported in the January 9, 2009 edition of
Scientific American "The first stars did not appear until perhaps 100
million years after the big bang nearly a billion years passed before galaxies
proliferated across the cosmos.”[1]
My question is how a large galaxy containing
multi-generation stars can exist 290 million years after the hypothesized Big
Bang.
NASA’s
James Webb Space Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy
Here are some quotes from this NASA blog article written
by Thaddeus Cesari:
“In January 2024, NIRSpec observed this galaxy,
JADES-GS-z14-0, for almost ten hours, and when the spectrum was first
processed, there was unambiguous evidence that the galaxy was indeed at a
redshift of 14.32, shattering the previous most-distant galaxy record (z = 13.2
of JADES-GS-z13-0).
…this galaxy must be intrinsically very luminous. From
the images, the source is found to be over 1,600-light years across, proving
that the light we see is coming mostly from young stars…
…This much starlight implies that the galaxy is several
hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun! This raises the question:
How can nature make such a bright, massive, and large galaxy in less than 300
million years?
…the brightness of the source implied by the MIRI
observation is above what would be extrapolated from the measurements by the
other Webb instruments, indicating the presence of strong ionized gas emission
in the galaxy in the form of bright emission lines from hydrogen and oxygen.
The presence of oxygen so early in the life of this galaxy is a surprise and
suggests that multiple generations of very massive stars had already lived
their lives before we observed the galaxy.”
[GB: Thanks once again George. I have been waiting for
this Second-Generation evidence from the James Webb Space Telescope for quite a
while since the Hubble Space Telescope also had similar indications. Let me
simplify:
Elements are formed via convergence, that is, by the
pushing together (fusion) of less massive elements via gravitation. The
simplest is the fusion of two hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms. Because it
is so young, that is about all that can be expected from our Sun. Older, redder,
more massive stars have mostly completed this phase of star evolution and
thenceforth produce higher pressures. This high pressure results in massive
elements such as oxygen, gold, silver, and uranium. Eventually, they explode as
supernovas, scattering those elements throughout the Milky Way. These
essentially are contaminants mixed with the hydrogen gas that forms stars and
their planetary systems.
I predict NASA eventually will discover gold in some of
those “elderly galaxies” at the edge of the observed portion of the Infinite
Universe.
George, now for your questions: “If the JWST finds
elderly galaxies one year past the Big Bang will it cause some astronomers to
question the BBT? What do you think, Glenn?”
[GB: Some of the younger cosmogonists will have qualms,
but the older ones like Neal de Grasse Tyson, will squelch them. They have long
careers and numerous utterances to protect. Remember, we now
have 24 falsifications of the Big BangTheory, and that has not fazed believers in finity. My prediction still stands: Infinite
Universe Theory will not be accepted by the mainstream until 2050.]
