It's no secret that I'm a big fan of what evidence-based science can teach us. Standard cosmology has been showing signs of strain for various reasons, including the inability to obtain consistent measurements of the Hubble constant. Moreover, incoming evidence from the James Webb Space Telescope has been challenging to reconcile for some time, and now, some evidence is emerging that could significantly challenge existing theories. It will likely take the scientific community a long time to fully process this, but I imagine it eventually will mark a pause in attempts to explain everything, at least for now.

Quote:The galaxy, called ZF-UDS-7329, contains more stars than the Milky Way, despite having formed only 800 million years into the universe's 13.8 billion-year life span.
