James Webb Space Telescope images shatter understanding of age of the universe
The James Webb Space Telescope found six massive galaxies that some scientists never thought could exist. The telescope is so powerful it might have just shattered scientific understanding of the universe. Theoretical Physicist and best selling author Dr. Michio Kaku talked to Gadi Schwartz about the groundbreaking report.

I feel incredibly lucky to be alive to witness the photos we’ve seen from JWT, I’ve almost teared up at a few from sheer awe. We live in an incredible universe, I don’t even know what else to say at this point. The James Webb Telescope is worth 1,000,000,000x (even much, much more)what it cost to build and I can’t wait to see what else it reveals. Many deep thanks to the team of people that conceptualized and built this telescope from start to finish, it’s a precious gift to humanity.

Because we are the only beings "aware" of our own selves and the universe that made us and yet, we can't live forever to traverse the massive universe - to see all of it's mysteries and exist to see it's infinite expansion to where entropy becomes 0.

I don't think we are capable of putting an age on the universe yet. This telescope is absolutely priceless for the amount of information it will provide to us. The first handful of images redefined our understanding of space around us and this is just a stepping stone in technological advancement.

My guess is that, whilst the Universe probably is still about 13.7 billion years old, these giant early galaxies found by JWST probably formed much faster than what we currently understand about the rate of galaxy formation. The Universe 500 million years after the big bang was probably very different from the Universe we occupy now, or was, say several billion to 5, 6 billion years ago.

@@jasonhildebrand1574 So why don't these early galaxies look chaotic? That's the whole point of these observations, these early galaxies are looking surprisingly mature.
Has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps with the big bang happening and it being early that the galaxies simply formed faster back then? Our understanding of the universe kinda comes from how things work now, but things may have worked quite differently in the early universe. Of course I think there's some important context missing here too. Our observable universe in 13.7 billion years old, but we have no real way of knowing if we see the actual origin point, or just the oldest/farthest point backwards we can see. The universe could be 20 billion years old or more in totality and we just can't see the stuff passed 13.7 because light can't travel fast enough from those places to reach us ever expansion has just spread things too far for that now.

That's not how the age of the universe was calculated

Like the guy said above the 13.8 billion number is not based on how far back we can see. Though there is a limit to how far back we can see and that's called "Recombination" which is approximately 370,000 years after the big bang. Before then, like you stated, the universe worked differently and was too dense and hot to form matter for light to reflect off of so matter was sort of "transparent" to light and its impossible to observe light earlier than that point in time

I may add, the laws of physics have never changed and even if they did at some point it was either at the moment of or “before” the big bang if that’s even possible. We can use the laws of physics to very accurately measure the age of the universe several different ways, and I’ve heard the big bang referred to as the point in time where our current understanding of physics break down i.e. our calculations and formulas give conflicting answers where they didn’t before.

@@vimax3858 these things you mention aren’t “laws” of physics. i’m sure you’re aware of this as well, but hubbles constant is a value that continually changes as we get closer and closer to the true age of the universe. and it isn’t even that big of a change, we are talking thousandth decimal places. i should so say the same applies to the speed of light. we know it’s approximate speed, 299,792,458 m/s, but mathematicians and physicists are refining whether or not it is 299,792,458.13467 or 299,792,458.13466. this is the degree of change you speak of. also we haven’t “observed” their change. we refine the values we assign to them, so we are changing them. the speed of light is a constant. our best guess right now is close enough to the real answer we can use it like it’s the actual value.
I’m too stupid enough to wrap my head around what these guys were saying but I know I’m glad to be alive while it’s happening lmao
I wonder what a gravity microwave would do.
Sounds like he’s alluding to the theoretical Black hole stars of the early universe. Not often mentioned is that our method of measuring distance at these extremes might not be as accurate as we first imagined.
We’re looking so far back that we seeing the backside of ourselves 🤔
So much to universally learn
I wonder if it was because the universe wasn't as stretched out as it is now (since we know that the universe is constantly expanding). Maybe since it was more condensed galaxies developed quicker.

The universe cannot be infinite because the laws of thermodynamics don't allow for that. Even alternative models to the Big Bang theory like the string theory, multiverse, pre-Big Bang cosmologies, inflationary scenarios, semiclassical models, closed time-like curves, ekpyrotic cyclic models, oscillating theories and loop quantum gravity models are all proven to require a beginning of space-time (BGV-theorem). An infinite universe would also contradict logic itself (as shown by mathematicians like David Hilbert), and without logic we couldn't do science in the first place.

I’ll be honest, it’s refreshing to hear Michio Kaku’s take on what’s going on with these new discoveries. Tyson has been approaching these new discoveries in his own way, like refusing to believe the Big Bang may have not happened. Until we know more about what’s being discovered today we can’t truly cement what we’ve previously come to understand about the early stages of the universe. A quote from Tyson which seems ironic to me now is “One must be content with the questions themselves.”
