Webb Just Focussed on the Most Distant Star Ever. It’s Mind-Blowing

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

So much of the observable (to us) Universe is already gone. It's strange to see the past come to life through telescopes. It's like being able to take a picture of ancient Egypt with my smartphone.

[@5piles]

form is a cool epiphenomenon but the buddha's empirical report is: "When the mind was thus concentrated, purified, bright, unblemished, rid of defilement, pliant, malleable, steady, & attained to imperturbability... I recollected my manifold past lives, one birth, two... five, ten... fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand, many eons of cosmic contraction, many eons of cosmic expansion, many eons of cosmic contraction & expansion: 'There I had such a name, belonged to such a clan, had such an appearance. Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such the end of my life. Passing away from that state, I re-arose there. There too I had such a name, belonged to such a clan, had such an appearance. Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such the end of my life. Passing away from that state, I re-arose here.' Thus I remembered my manifold past lives in their modes & details. "This was the first knowledge I attained in the first watch of the night. Ignorance was destroyed; knowledge arose; darkness was destroyed; light arose - as happens in one who is heedful, ardent, & resolute."

[@telebubba5527]

That is what it basically is. Only this Egypt doesn't stay in the same place, so if you went for a visit it won't be where you thought it is.

In realms of night where mysteries gleam, A tale of Earendel, a distant dream. Beyond celestial curtains, he's found, The farthest star, in silence profound. A twinkle born in cosmic sea, Earendel's light, a beacon to be. Through light-years vast, his shimmer's grace, A timeless traveler in boundless space. A glimpse into eternity's realm, Earendel's story, like a sacred helm. A star that whispers secrets untold, In skies where mysteries unfold. With telescopic eyes, we gaze, Upon his glow, a distant blaze. Earendel, guide to worlds unseen, In stellar ballets, his dance serene. In darkest nights, his presence known, A stellar jewel, brightly sown. Earendel, your light so pure, Forever in the heavens, you endure. As explorers of the cosmos, we aspire, To touch your radiance, to reach higher. Earendel, star of the farthest skies, Your brilliance ignites our seeking eyes.

You have to keep in mind that the observable universe and space time are not the same. In other words, just because we see that distant star doesn't mean that it's lying at the edge of time. As the universe is expanding we can only really see a tiny portion of space time. It could be that the distant stars we see are only those stars that traveled through time with us faster than light after the big bang. There could be a nearly infinite amount of universe expanding stars not observable to us at all.

Crazy? Not really, but let me tell you what's really crazy. First off a disclaimer - it's impossible for you to travel at that speed, because you're not massless. But even if you could travel at the speed of light, you wouldn't sense passing of time. Therefore you'd get there in an instant. Although, during your "instant" travel, the Earth would be 28 billion years older... in other words, it would be gone a long time ago.

I've seen a calculation, a long time ago, about the movement of the earth through space and that is amazing. We don't just go around the sun, but our whole planetary system is on the move, as is the whole galaxy. All at mindblowings speeds. And we on earth notice nothing about it.

When the JWST starts really looking back into the early Universe it will see so many galaxies so close together along with globular clusters and on and on. The old Universe (all the mass in a small, maybe earth sized) became, for a short time, a Galaxy Creating Machine! The first thing that this machine did was split in half; each pushes hard against the other creating a black hole at the center where the most pressure is then away creating one huge spiral galaxy with black hole in the center, between both Sides (of the old Universe, it was an inside job >smiles< soon to be new universe) pushing full blast against each other (We should all know because We all had to choose sides back then and probably push with all our mental might! We all (all the Beings in this/old Universe) knew what was happening; We were all there; We are all eternal; where else would We all have been at this moment, with our Awareness & Consciousness, We had no form and there are no aliens, we know all the beings anywhere intimately.) creating that first large spiral galaxy with one very large black hole in the center)! The tremendous stress blew both Sides into countless Pieces, each Piece pushing on those near it creating many, many more spiral galaxies (elliptical galaxies got created mostly when the galaxies were close together there were many collisions and that usually left two elliptical galaxies going on their merry way; and one larger black hole or two black holes orbiting each other going their own way) and other matter. Elliptical galaxies got created in another way where three progenitors act on each other such that the galaxy is created with all the gas being stripped out by the creation) The Progenitors (the old Universe in pieces) that created all this are Quasars now. Most Quasars pushed each other to the perimeter of our new Universe. From there they they form a basket like pattern all around the new Universe. They are responsible for our gravity and moving electromagnetic vibrations and much more. Some Quasars stalled and remained in the physical Universe. The JWST will allow Us to understand what happened back then. We all can see, as well, that We were always a part of whatever this Universe was/is involved in… “out of the One many, out of the many One”

What is the maximum range that we can expect to look and find life? And where in this range is the sweet spot? Since the further we look the smaller the chance of life, and the same goes for the closer we look, the minimum range. Its like focussing an optical lens but then with time. And with the help of gravitational lensing there should be the possibility of hyper focus right? Since as a noob i can think of this, i assme this is a problem that is currently being tackled in the field of astrophysics and astro biology? I would love to see an episode about this.

Thank you for a relevant question. Earendel is definitely a dead star now, after 13 billion years has passed. The maximum life span is approx. 10 billion years for a mid-sized star like our sun. Bigger stars than our sun have shorter lifespan, because they burn up their helium and hydrogen faster. The right amount of these 2 gas types keeps the star "alive" and active.

I then I went on to explain how I solved it. I even said the large old galaxies would become the mother of all paradoxes, much more puzzling than the event horizon information paradox. I solved the paradox produced by large, old, smooth and fully formed galaxies further than 12.7 billion light years away before NASA launched the JWST. No need to solve it because I already did before NASA discovered they were wrong. I know why. And I also know why the JWST will not find any population III stars. I said Earendel would not be a population III star. It's most likely a dwarf galaxy, not a single star. They won't be able to confirm the big bang model because they won't find any population III stars.
