In an interview, Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist and senior project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, Dr. John Mather, revealed some startling revelations about the James Webb Telescope's unexpected discoveries.
When He was asked "The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is detecting stars formed in our Universe’s infancy. Do you think you have found the very first stars?
In response to this question John matter said, Not yet! We’re hoping to find them, but it’s very hard to tell whether the stars we see are really formed from primordial material or whether they were born from debris of previous generations of stars. Estimates suggest what we are looking at was formed around 150 million years after the Big Bang – but our information is very preliminary right now.
The Universe can do whatever it is set up to do, but our imagination doesn’t always ke inep up. It’s hard to imagine infinity, because it’s not a thing itself, but space keeps on going and going and going, and there’s no edge to the Universe that we’re aware of. If you imagine going back in time and getting closer to the first objects in the Universe, you get to where the temperatures and pressures are immense, and there are no objects to look at. The gravitational forces are so strong that we think quantum mechanics should apply to space and time themselves. It’s a giant hodgepodge, and we don’t really know what to call it. That’s the end of our imagination.
Well, today in this video we will show you the amazing new discoveries of the James Webb Telescope and how these discoveries created a storm in the field of astronomy.
