James Webb May Disprove the Big Bang and Reveal an Older Universe

James Webb May Soon Disprove The Big Bang Theory And Prove The Universe Is Much Older, Possibly Trillions Of Years








The BIG BANG theory may soon be dismissed as per the James Webb Space Telescope affiliated to NASA. Let's dive into this.

Physicist Eric J. Lerner comes to the point:


For anyone who looks at them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the universe are exquisitely splendid. To many of the professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also very shocking — very unexpected based on theory.


In the torrent of technical papers posted on-line since July 12, the authors consistently reiterate their observations stating that the images contain an astonishing number of galaxies, galaxies that are striking in their smoothness, smallness and age. Many shocks, and they're not all good shocks. One paper's title begins with the candid exclamation: The act is called 'Panic!'




What is it about the JWST's images that causes panic among cosmologists? Which of the theories' predictions are they negating? The papers don't read that.


What is being left unsaid by these papers is that the images that JWST is providing are flat out and over and over contradicting the Big Bang Hypothesis of the universe 14 billion years old and, at the same time, expanding. Since that hypothesis has been argued for decades as irrefutable fact by 95% of cosmological theorists, it is making these theorists shake in their boots. 'Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning'. – an astronomer at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Alison Kirkpatrick – …wondering if everything I've done is wrong. ’ ERIC J. LERNER, ‘THE BIG BANG DIDN’T HAPPEN’ AT IAI. TV (AUGUST 11, 2022)


While we did not often hear of it, there has been dissatisfaction with the Standard Model which starts with the Big Bang, ever since the latter was proposed almost a century ago by Georges Lemaître. However, nobody thought that the James Webb Space Telescope would play a part in this discourse.

An Interested Party

Now, Lerner is the author of The Big Bang Never Happened (1992) and as such, he has a dog in the fight, but that doesn't mean he is wrong. He will be performing at howthelightgetsin festival in London (17-18 September, 2022), organized by the Institute for Art and Ideas aka IAI as one of the speakers during the Cosmology and the Big Bust debate.


The upcoming debate, which features philosopher of science Bjørn Ekeberg and Yale astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, along with Lerner, is premised as follows: follows:



The Big Bang theory stands on the 'inflation' hypothesis which states that in the beginning at least many orders of magnitude faster than the velocity of light the universe expanded. Nevertheless, attempts to confirm cosmic inflation in experiments have been unsuccessful and since the inception of this theory it has been accompanied by serious questions. Paul Steinhardt who was one of its founders has labeled the idea as wrong and 'scientifically inconsequential'.



Is it time to abandon the theory of cosmic inflation and look for an extreme procedure? Or might, say, other theories such as the Big Bounce, or simply disregarding the speed of light, help? Or are such 'alternatives' merely sticking plasters to cover up the fact that people are giving up the Big Bang a dead letter fundamentally?


A Potential Solution


This is a general debate on this topic from last year's festival but with JWST data. It features theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, author of Lost in Math: Interview with both lead character How Beauty Leads Physics Astray along with open washing Ekeberg and particle physicist Sam Henry.

James Webb Telescope Just Observed City Lights 7 Trillion Miles Away

James Webb Telescope Just Observed City Lights 7 Trillion Miles Away The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to astound us with its incredible discoveries. Known as a sentinel for uncovering the deepest secrets of space, the JWST may have captured its most extraordinary observation yet—what appears to be artificial lights on a distant exoplanet, 7 trillion miles from Earth. This finding has sparked excitement and debates, suggesting the potential presence of extraterrestrial civilizations. The Observation: Lights on a Distant Exoplanet The JWST’s powerful infrared instruments recently detected unusual periodic bursts of light from a planet named X7b. This exoplanet resides in the habitable zone of its star, approximately 1,100 light-years from Earth. The lights exhibit a regular flickering pattern, too structured to be attributed to natural phenomena like volcanic activity or lightning storms. What sets this observation apart is the nature of these lights. They pulse in a cons...

Scientists are SCARED! Will the SUN destroy the Earth in 2025

 Scientists are SCARED! Will the SUN destroy the Earth in 2025 For thousands of years, the Sun provided earth with its life-giving light and warmth but paradoxically also became a cause for concern. In the recent past, the scientists have seen things hot up with an increasing level of solar activity that makes them wonder whether the Sun will prove to be a threat to the earth's survival in the not-too-distant future. With projected cycles of solar activity and periods of intense solar storms peak in 2025, questions abound whether the Sun is to disrupt life as we understand it. So, what is fueling these fears, and how real is the danger? Understanding the Solar Cycle of the Sun The Sun functions on an 11-year cycle, changing between times of solar minimums and solar maximums. During a solar maximum, the Sun's magnetic field becomes so convoluted that it creates sunspots, solar flares, and even coronal mass ejections CMEs huge eruptions of material which may send torrents of cha...

Mysterious Object Discovered Speeding at Over 1 Million MPH Across the Galaxy – Scientists Stumped

Mysterious Object Discovered Speeding at Over 1 Million MPH Across the Galaxy – Scientists Stumped This artist's concept shows a hypothetical white dwarf, left, that has exploded as a supernova. The object at right is CWISE J1249, a star or brown dwarf ejected from this system as a result of the explosion. This scenario is one explanation for where CWISE J1249 came from. ( W.M. Keck Observatory/Adam Makarenko) An extraordinary object is speeding through space at a staggering 1 million miles per hour (1.6 million km/h ), fast enough to eventually escape the Milky Way galaxy. Known as CWISE J1249 , this enigmatic celestial body has left scientists both intrigued and baffled.   This discovery marks the first time an object of its mass has been observed traveling at such a phenomenal speed. By comparison, our solar system moves at about 450,000 mph—making CWISE J1249 more than twice as fast.   What Is CWISE J1249? A mos CWISE J1249 is a star-like object with a ma...
