James Webb Telescope Looked Beyond the Dark Ages, What It Found Stunned Astronomers

The James Webb Space Telescope is pushing deeper into the early universe than ever before, and some of what it is finding is raising serious questions about how quickly the first galaxies and black holes formed. Webb has detected extremely distant galaxies, strong Lyman-alpha emission, and ancient black holes that appear surprisingly developed for such an early stage of cosmic history.

We also look at more radical ideas, including Roger Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and the possibility that our Big Bang may have been part of a much larger cosmic cycle.
