I mean I think it’s great. That’s the heart of science. You learn some stuff, you find out that’s wrong by learning more stuff, and so on. This telescope is doing exactly what it was meant too

@kevinwaters5872

Are they saying we don’t understand everything ? I am shocked. How will the world’s teenagers react to this ?

@stevesomerstein3062

I'm one of the scientist that designed and built the James Webb Space Telescope. More specifically the coronagraph in the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). I don't find anything that was disclosed in this video of new discoveries to be that unusual. We are simply discovering that the universe is more complex. The notion that time flows at different rates depending on whether space is filled with galaxies or empty, is exactly what would be predicted from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Once the scientists refine the modeling from the JWST measurements, we will have a better understanding of what is transpiring. And no doubt we'll discover a lot of things that can't immediately be explained. All this is just how science progresses. I find this quite exciting and whets my enthusiasm for extending the work of our present instruments and thinking about what instruments need yet to be invented. Good luck to the young scientists. They have new horizons to extend. We may find that there are bounderies to our universe, but the human imagination is infinite.

@janscott602

I appreciate scientists who have the humility to admit they got it wrong. Time scape makes way more sense than dark energy.

@antonleimbach648

This is the scientific method doing exactly what it has always done. Bravo!

Humans have no Idea how the universe works.

@Vhalior666

The most exciting thing about all of this is the next big telescope will find even more wonder among the stars and continue to baffle us all. I think it's brilliant.

@cgsmcmlxxv

Few points:
1. Nobody claimed that they understood the Universe.
2. Dark matter/energy was not discovered, it was invented to fix the Cosmological Model. This is a proof for point 1.
3. Time dependency on the mass is already known since a while. After all, the higher you are in the Earth orbit, the faster the clock works.
4. Time going slower within the big concentration of mass is counter-intuitive with the creation of big structures in the early Universe.
5. The age of the Universe is computed at best of our understanding about this Universe. The large structures far, far away seem to contradict our understanding. But, that is not the only hole in our understanding.

All in one, JWT, along with some other telescopes put in the orbit, are built for this reason. And that means such a telescope is worth investing in.

@coneyisland4568

Instead of trying to patch up old theories such as dark matter, why don't they just admit that it doesn't exist and that we've never discovered a single shred of evidence to support it's existence?

@markasbury9162

This actually proves there was no big bang. But it is so hard for scientist to accept.

@MicroTitans

Dark energy wasn't discovered, it was theorized. We can't measure it. We infer its  existence based on a theory. Then it's value is calculated (on the presumption that the theory is correct), so it fits with that theory.

Knowledge is finite. The unknown is infinite. That will never change.

@JamnGeorge

When I was in college, some professors taught this as fact. It infuriated me that there were two groups of scientists, those that desire to learn more and those scientists that hate being questioned and teach everything as fact. I remember being hurt, thinking how could BSU hire a professor that does not value new evidence. Why do they do this?😢

@kevinkovalsr6180

Back in the early 80s I had a friend who was into studying the early formations of stars and galaxies and we were just like what the heck is he doing, I mean this guy was a genius and could have done anything with his genius but he became a professor in upstate New York. The point I’m trying to make is you never know what peoples brains are driven by whereas we were all very very smart back then in our group but this guy and his brother were on a whole different level, god bless Frank and Willie

Us: We solved the three body problem.

Universe: Hold my beer.  😂

@virginiatyree6705

I love mysteries. Bring them on... Thanks for posting.

@whortle

You mean we’re not living on the back of a giant turtle?

@martyhum6263

I really enjoy listening to intelligent people who are open-minded and unafraid to change their thoughts and ideas when presented with new evidence.

@alejandrocurado5134

Like the quantum world. It's far more mysterious than we ever thought. Same thing at the other "scale". ..
