The Official James Webb Space Telescope Thread: First image released 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Telescope

I cant find the 'threshold timeline' online but this is from the book... There are 9 main thresholds to our origin story...

It gives fundamental dates for the modern origin story using approximate absolute dates and recalculated dates, as if the universe had been created 13.8 years ago, instead of 13.8 BILLION years ago. Its makes it easier to get a sense of the chronological shape to the story in our minds...



EVENT​
APPOXMATE ABSOLOUTE DATE​
DATE DIVIDED BY BILLION​
THRESHOLD 1: The Big Bang (origin of the universe)​

13.8 billion years ago​

13. 2 years ago​
THRESHOLD 3: New elements forged in dying large stars​
Continuously from threshold 2 to present days​

THRESHOLD 9 (?): A sustainable world order?​

I happened to be reading a book at the moment, 'The Origin Story' which is kinda dope as its coincided with this JWST stuff... Im only the beginning of the universe and stars atm and I dont fully understand everything, its so hard to comprehend and wrap my head around somethings but its still fascinating stuff...

The part about 'The Big Bang' etc thats blown my mind is that the universe is always expanding, like it really is infinite... The Universe started off something like billions and billions of times smaller than this period here '.' and from the 100th trillion mili second (or something similar) wild sh!t happened with energy etc and the universe has been expanding ever since... So if we arnt the only universe, think whats going on in the other universes...

And one of the crazier shits is that even though the universe is expanding at a rate that is mind blowing, and its been expanding at that rate for 14 billion years, the size of the universe grew faster in that 1st second after the big bang than the 14 billion years after it.

But man I dont think enough time is considered thinking about the word infinite. That word should not be thrown around lightly. Because infinite means every possibility will be playing out infinite times at the same time. All within the rules of the physics of our universe ofcourse.

If you tell me we are the only forms of life, and the universe is near infinite, but not really infinite, then you can make the argument that we really are the only intelligent forms of life in the universe, no matter how small that probability is, its a possibility.

But if you tell me the universe is infinite, then that means all the possible things that can happen will happen at some point or another, which means there is a point where we are the only intelligent life forms, then another point where there are other intelligent forms of life, and then another point where there are infinite versions of us.

An infinite universe is something idk if I even to be true. Lmaooo.

Its such a complex debate, that its hard and intense enough IRL that its almost impossible to debate in text (for me) haha

The universe is always expanding which has been proven but yeah, I guess it could stop??? Which would mean its NOT infinite...

Being that the we are just one of many universes, surely there must be other planets, like ours with intelligent life on it OR how mad would this be... playing out THEIR version of evolution right now, maybe (for arguments sake) a billion years in front or behind ours!!!

jwst telescope is just bigger and better..Hubble has been doing its thing for a long time and has given us great images but jwst will do us even better, here’s a side by side of the same shot from both… jwst you can actually see the swirl galaxies which is wildly cool

I heard on spacenuts podcast hubble took like 9days to capture that image Webb did it in 12 hrs

And they had to have permission from religious heads to put this out.

Anyone wanna guess why?

so I peeped the article…where did they have to get permission from religious ppl? It literally just says 24 theologians got together to discuss how those w religious backgrounds would react to the news if alien life was be found outside of Earth.

Am I missing something?

Lol that looked more like a “we got something coming so this is y’all’s chance to work on getting your stories straight”
