Robert sent in the link https://phys.org/news/2025-07-ancient-pristine-galaxy-validates-big.html … where Robert thinks mainstream were fighting their corner when it comes to the James Webb Space Telescope revealing lots of question marks around Big Bang. Cosmologists, he says, seem to be saying the discovery on one galaxy, just the one, confirms the Big Bang model. He goes on to say the Big Bang model does not explain anything about the observable universe. Is he right? The following link suggests he may have hit the nail on the head. Can this new discovery, in the meantime, described as a potentially ‘pristine’ object, nullify what James Webb has revealed previously? He adds, anyone who thinks the Big Bang model is going away any time soon will be disappointed.
However, at https://phys.org/news/2025-07-rethinking-big-gravity-quantum-ripples.html … European researchers have come up with a revolutionary theory about the origin of the universe, we are being sold. A study in Physcial Review Letters offers a different view of the first moments after Big Bang. For decades, cosmologists have worked under the inflationary model of an expanding universe – from a few moments after its Genesis. Expanding extremely rapidly, in a fraction of a second. The new model doesn’t rely on hypothetical fields or particles such as inflation. Natural quantum fluctuating in space time, known as gravitational waves, may have been sufficient to seed galaxies, stars, and planet.
They then add – for decades we have tried to understand the early moments of the universe using models based on elements we have never observed.
