These JWST Images are Breaking our Understanding of Physics

So by now, you should have all seen the first set of JWST images released yesterday, and I’ve seen a few people saying they were slightly underwhelmed by them. So, let me try explain why they’re so unbelievable.

I think the reason people might feel underwhelmed by these images is that, for most people, it’s almost incomprehensible to imagine the scope of the universe captured in images like these. For someone who hasn’t really accepted how tiny and minuscule we humans are in the grand scheme of it all, this is just an image filled with shiny dots. For people who accept and understand just how expansive space is, and are interested in the science around it, these images are breathtaking and absolutely mind blowing.

[@AstroKobi]

Definitely agree. It takes a moment of thought for it to really hit you.

[@Ryan_the_dawg]

Absolutely, I 100% agree, doesn't it make you feel like a gnat on a grain of sand? It's absolutely mesmerising and amazingly beautiful to look at even though it's impossible to fully comprehend the scale of it all, like when he said the galaxy formation is 7 light years high???? It would take 7 years for light to travel from the bottom to the top??!! That's friggen insane!! But super cool.

@Andrei Narzabal we aren't even molecule...may be quarks

[@manj......077l]

That's definitely right

[@zydration3538]

Very "I'm 14 and this is deep" energy going on here

Love your stuff man! Keep it coming and the algorithm will sooner or later pick you up, you're gonna be huge some day!

Thanks for the kind comment legend! I’ll keep making content!

Metal detectors in space have a tendency for detecting the radiation from a single star in space that has a very small radius and a small amount in space and is very close enough for a single person in the space station that is very small enough for the entire planet and is not visible from space at the moment but in a way it can detect a lot more than a single person from the planet in space and the entire universe and the entire solar system

[@kote1412]

Thank you so much from your content! I'm a ESL teacher from Chile and I'm using your content with my students from 16-17 years old and today they loved it! They were so interested and inspired with your video! Thank you for helping explaining the universe and its wonders! Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱!

[@AstroKobi]

You're very welcome! I'm glad they enjoyed the content, hopefully they are inspired and engaged to learn more!

[@johnjones9901]

This is so remarkable to hear, I can only imagine as a KZbinr this is so gratifying to hear!

[@gevargiscmanoj]

This is for sure one of the best Astro channels out there! Straight to the point and your content makes people who aren’t interested in space fall in love with it! Great content man!

[@AstroKobi]

Thanks so much for the kind words legend!

[@padnabhanp9044]

Totally agreed

[@ratchet_ricky3232]

One of my favorite astronomy channels ever. Please never stop uploading man!

Glad to see you making videos on KZbin! Hopefully we get to see more from you. You are so informative and you quench my need to learn more about space! Keep it up, because you're amazing!

[@AstroKobi]

Lot's more coming soon! About to finish the uni semester and go all in!

[@MoistPlums_]

@@AstroKobi That's exciting! If there's anything that piques my interest the most, it's definitely anything space related lol. Hopefully this semester goes well for you :) rooting for you!

[@Bighosshogcranker]

Just saw your TikTok story, didn’t even think to look you up on KZbin! Instant sub, space is probably the most interesting thing - I love all the facts and there’s always something new! Keep it up mate

[@isaiahcuriel4150]

Your slowly growing to be one of my favorite KZbinrs I love your content keep up the good work 🎉

[@marianaandrews6274]

Hi Kobi, I came over from your Tiktok. I'm obsessed with these new images. They are so amazing. I feel so in awe but also somewhat insignificant😊you provide a great overview

[@AstroKobi]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kingnrj]

Mate I've been watching your content on tiktok and I swear I could listen to you talk about space all day. Keep doing your thing, makes a massive difference in my day. 🙏🏾

[@AstroKobi]

It's my pleasure!

[@johnjones9901]

Dude I would love to sit down with you and just chop it up about all the stuff, I found very few if any people they can actually hold a conversation about the way the physics of the universe works, but I love all your shorts I can’t believe it took me this long to check to see if you had a longer form videos, I see you just have a few but if any of them are like this one or your shorts I’m sure they’re all amazing, please keep up the good work, there are a lot of people that talk about astronomy on KZbin, but very few show the passion and charisma you do as well as excitement for discovery, keep killing it dude 💪💪💪🙏🫶

[@Mikeo90]

So excited to see were this channel goes. Another stunning video bro. Looking forward to the next 🤙

[@AstroKobi]

Thanks for the kind words! Lots more to come!

[@CieloDehaz]

Hi Astrokobi! I just stumbled upon your great content, and I love the way you execute them. They're very heartwarming in a way. ❤️ Also, may I know the background music you use in your shorts? Makes me wanna sleep all day.

[@AThirstyPhilosopher]

Thank you for this helpful explanation. You clearly understand what you’re talking about. And your voice and pace of speech are easy to listen to. Gives me time to process what I’m hearing.

[@AstroKobi]

That's the goal! Thanks so much!

hubble looks like paintings, beautiful oil paintings. However, JWST has given us beautiful photos that look like you're staring through the glass of a spaceship at these nebulas, exoplanets, stars, galaxies, and every other beauty that lies beyond our telescopes in our backyard. I wish I could live to see these beauties in person even if I'm not even in college yet. But, that's the truth that we have to admit. However, the more and more people see Hubble's beautiful oil painting-like photos and compare them with JWST with major thought the more and more humanity will drive to give the future generations the tech, ability, and most important confidence with a touch of love to see these wonders that I can't describe for themselves. If you see this comment you probably won't live to see what I picture. but, I envision people living in space and preserving every beautiful inch of it. And there is no need to say you found the world's eighth wonder anymore because we have already found it. We stare at it, wondering: "what's happening out there." That eighth wonder is space. The empty void paints an abstract painting about anything we can fit in our minds. It brings a tear to my eye knowing that I won't be able to follow the journey the future generations will, but it gives me hope. I only hope we don't see it as storage for our toxic waste, or a temporary solution to overpopulation, but as a delicate ecosystem that thrives with us. I hope we focus on preserving space rather than polluting it. Because in space, we live as mere organisms. mere organisms in a universe better described as an oil painting. Beautiful is the only way I can describe the universe. So if you're reading this, and you traveling to mars, venus, or the rest of what lies beyond our earth don't do what we did to earth, because we want to go to mars to escape overpopulation and global warming. Don't do it with space because if you do... that painting that I love and we love, will be gone. A blank canvas. I'm not in high school, and I'm not a genius. I'm average. So in other terms... Even an average joe under the age of 16 can understand the beauties of space, and the temptations humanity will have to destroy it. Well, I love my canvas of space. I hope you do too.

[@mymoonlight7440]

Thank you for such an amazing content! I am here from TikTok :) I have a question! Actually a lot of questions because now I am obsessed with Space :D Doesn't that mean that we can take a picture of the closer Galaxies and even see Systems in there, as well as planets?

[@AstroKobi]

Absolutely, we can take pictures of closer galaxies, the image of Stephan’s Quintet is only 290 million light years away. However, it’s unlikely JWST will be able to make out an image of an exoplanet around a star just because the stars are so much brighter than the planets. Think of it like shining a tiny torch right beside a HUGE stadium light, the massive light overwhelms the tiny light and makes it hard to see.

[@mymoonlight7440]

Around 6:54 we have the standard statement about the age of the universe aka ~13-15 billion years. Though, we know that initially the universe had the size of a mathematical point, a singularity and was infinitely dense, which means that time back then and time today cannot be the same thing. Thanks to relativity, we know that the denser the mass the slower time flows, so when you have infinite density a second can last for ever. We also are told that when the universe started expanding from that singularity it had a certain temperature, so did we use a thermometer to check this temperature? It had a certain volume. Does this mean that 3D volume that we know and 11D volume (according to modern scientists) are the same? When we talk about the universe and such things, shouldn't we clarify these meaning first?

[@Jazzmatazz_]

In my school we run this thing that's called The global classroom and we had someone come in from NASA who is working with the James Webb space telescope. I think her name was Stephanie millan or something like that. So we got to see some of the pictures before they were released to the general public Edit: most of the pictures are shown in this video
