Einstein's theory of general relativity explains that gravity is the result of the curvature of space-time caused by matter and energy. This curved space-time then governs the paths that energy and matter follow. Therefore, while light usually moves in a straight line, its path can be bent and magnified by the influence of gravity.
We call this phenomenon gravitational lensing, and massive objects like galaxies and galaxy clusters help bend the path of light from objects behind them.
This bending of light works like a lens, magnifying and distorting the image of the background objects.
This phenomenon helps astronomers observe faraway things by acting as a natural telescope. It allows us to see distant galaxies and other cosmic objects that would otherwise be too faint or too far away to detect with our current technology.
Using this method along with the prowess of the James Webb Space Telescope, we have been able to observe five extremely dense proto-globular clusters at the dawn of time itself, which are dense groups of millions of stars held together by gravity, within the Cosmic Gems arc, a galaxy that formed merely 460 million years after the Big Bang.

Just because you are looking back in time doesn't mean you are observing creation. The universe could be inconceivably larger and older than what is observable.

The JWT is sure to uncover more surprises. It has only just begun. Exciting times ahead as long as we don't self-destruct before then.

Time to start thinking without a box.

The most amazing thing about this is the possibility that it presents. Each galaxy that forms holds multiple potentials for life to develop. Each galaxy has a habitable region in its orbital patterns. Life may have developed somewhere within these regions. I do know one thing, from the records of the alien technology I was allowed to interact with there was data pertaining to a planet that had been utilized for mining raw material from a planet that may have first formed in these early galaxies. As I understood it the raw mineral was a type of crystalline quartz that had formed from the high density energy of the cosmic radiation that was abundant at that time. The quartz had formed in a way that could channel and filter this energy into a source powerful enough to fuel their interstellar engines by breaking down the reflecting rays and..... I don't know after that. I can't remember. It kinda sounds like some star trek concept but it had more details than some movie knock off, diagrams, algorithmic processes and details of various fused elements used during the process.

Here's a question for you all. Would the universe exist if there was no life?
-
Bet a whole English pound on the big bang being the end of the previous universe, not the beginning of this one.
-
The presence of oxygen in that ancient galaxy is crazy as it signifies a stellar age impossible for a theory proposing early stars as composed of only hydrogen and helium, as oxygen is formed by the fusion of four helium atoms.

So interesting. I’ve wondered for a while now if what is called ‘the big bang’ could be more accurately described as ‘the big shift in scale’. My conjecture is that the universe is more like a fractal where there is no scale ground zero. Imagine if we were at the observed galaxy 13 or so billions of years ago that we’d be able to see ‘back’ another 13 billion years.

According to vedas , we have reached the halfway stage of a colossal time frame of approximately 1500 trillion years. One can only speculate as to how many big bangs there might have been.
-
The universe is infinite and eternal.
-
so the light from the galaxys just after the big bang took 13.8 billion years to get here is that right?
-
Beautifully done video.
-
as click bait goes... James Webb "may have" made us all a big hot steaming pile of coffee.
-
The more we discover the less we realise that we know.
-
Fascinating.
-
This feels like new science is coming. How can galaxies form less than 300M yrs from the last scattering surface? I thought current estimates place formation at 3x to 4x that time period?
-
Great Video, Thanks 👍🇺🇸 subbed.
-
13.8 billion years seems a ridiculously small piece of time when theres all eternity to go at.
-
Maybe the space expansion acceleration isn’t a constant value and the universe is really much, much older than we think.

There are more galaxies in your universe than there are stars in your galaxy, and more universe's in the cosmos than there are galaxies in your universe.
