Q responsible or account for what we see is what's called the cosmic microwave background radiation, which may mean that the, what we assumed was coming from the early universe from the big bang may actually come from these galaxies. And it's like, do we have it all wrong? We may. And these papers are getting a lot of attention. Is the bank big bang theory disproven now with this discovery?
A The Big Bang theory is on, is on very solid ground. There are many details we don't understand. The basic tenets, however, of the theory are just threefold. The universe long ago was hot, it was dense, and it was expanding. Nothing in those studies contradicts any of that. As I mentioned, the early formation of galaxies is an interesting puzzle. It means that Our understanding of how galaxies formed and evolved is still incomplete, but that's part of the fun of doing science. There's new things, you know. The cosmic microwave background radiation is the, the afterglow of the Big Bang, and it turns out it agrees to very high precision with a very single temperature, meaning that the universe everywhere was the same temperature, then expanded by the same amount, and we see, see the same temperature everywhere. There's no way you can do that With galaxies forming at a range of times and distances, they would each contribute light that would not give this so-called black body thermal spectrum, and there are many other details of the microwave background, the spots and stuff that are not at all addressed. So a lot of these theories, you know, as scientists we can dream up things, and we just kind of put them out there to be explored more, but of course the media likes to highlight the, the really snazzy sounding things, and so Sometimes, often, the very speculative ideas get way too…
