Michio Kaku: "Time Does NOT EXIST! James Webb Telescope PROVED Us Wrong!"

time and space are like a fabric like rubber like a trampoline net turn this trampoline net into a pretzel and allow yourself to go backwards in time have you ever questioned what's truly out there in the cosmos what mindblowing Mysteries the universe might be concealing from us well you're in for a ride we have a revelation so colossal it's about to rewrite everything we thought we knew about the universe brace yourself as the renowned American physicist Mito Kaku unveils a discovery that that's nothing short of revolutionary brought to light by none other than the legendary James webspace telescope which may have proven that time does not exist ready to dive into a space-time riddle that's going to turn your world upside down the James web Space Telescope is essentially the Hubble Space telescope's bigger cooler sibling launched on Christmas Day 2021 this telescope has taken up residence in space Illuminating secrets from the universe's darkest and most distant corners it's like the ultimate time machine equipped with super powerful infrared instruments that make it perfect for peeping into the past how you ask well its unprecedented resolution and sensitivity allow it to detect incredibly old and faint objects that even Hubble couldn't Glimpse we're talking about distant galaxies and celestial bodies from the early Universe those elusive entities that have been playing an epic Cosmic hide and seek with us in essence James web is helping us piece together the universe's Grand star studded jigsaw puzzle one infrared image at a time now imagine you're at an art gallery strolling past Grand pictures captured by the James webspace telescope also known as jwst the imagery is breathtaking with distant galaxies shimmering across the cosmic canvas yet among the astronomers and cosmologists you sense shock and disbelief there's a sense of turmoil almost as if they're staring at a Picasso in a room full of realists the common phrase you hear is this is unexpected so what's the fuss all about what's rattled the very Foundation of their understanding of the cosmos although the official papers are tight-lipped about it the real issue lies with a theory they hold dear the Big Bang hypothesis this is the idea that our universe kicked off in a massive explosion about 14 billion years ago and has been expanding like a giant balloon ever since this theory has been the Cornerstone of cosmological understanding for years and now the new images from the jwst seem to question its validity sending shock waves through the community you can almost hear Allison Kirkpatrick a seasoned astronomer from the University of Kansas tossing and turning in her bed questioning her life's work why is everyone so surprised well the galaxies captured by the jwst aren't behaving as they should according to the Big Bang hypothesis they're too small too smooth too old and there are way too many of them let's try to simplify it if you imagine the universe as an expanding balloon galaxies shouldn't look smaller as they move away from us after a certain point they should start looking bigger because their light supposedly left them when they were closer it's a weird but essential twist in the expanding Universe concept yet the images from the jwst show galaxies that are about the same size as the ones near us it's like you're expecting your distant friends to appear as Tiny dots on the horizon but instead they're right next to you just as large as life interestingly they show galaxies appearing smaller than we'd expect even those that shine brighter and pack more mass than our own Milky Way these pictures show galaxies that seem to be two to three times smaller than the ones seen through the Hubble Space Telescope HST despite their greater luminosity and mass additionally these galaxies also have significantly higher red shifts which in layman's terms means they're supposed moving away from us at faster speeds you might think well that's odd and you'd be right especially if you're operating under the assumption that we live in an ever expanding Universe a while back in 2014 some scientists had already pointed out this inconsistency they analyzed HST images and found that galaxies with red shifts up to five seem to match what you'd expect in a non-expanding typical space it was anticipated that the jwst would continue this trend and it has even for Galaxies with red shifts as high as 12 in simpler words the jwst images show galaxies that appear the same size as those close to us as if the universe isn't expanding and red shift is merely a function of distance but if we still cling to The Big Bang Theory and its expanding Universe concept we're left with a pretty perplexing conclusion these distant galaxies must be unimaginably small to counterbalance the supposed optical illusion created by an expanding Universe it's a bit like imagining a grain of sand with the brightness of a spotlight take for instance a Galaxy named GHC 2 that the jwst spotted it's far brighter than the Milky Way but is calculated to be only 300 Lightyear in radius compared to the Milky Way's 50,000 Lightyear radius its brightness per unit area would be 600 times that of the brightest Galaxy in our local Universe not just that its density and that of several other new galaxies would be tens of thousands of times higher than the Galaxy we see around us today now when you consider these tiny and smooth galaxies the notion of an expanding universe and by extension The Big Bang Theory starts to crumble and that's why these findings are causing quite a stir among astronomers and cosmologists over the years the Hubble Space Telescope images have given them a hard time the pictures suggest the existence of many galaxies dense and Powerful much like Mighty Mouse from old cartoons these galaxies are a challenging puzzle for them and with the new James webspace telescope things have only gotten trickier to make sense of these peculiarly tiny galaxies theorists have put forth an idea it's as if you're playing with a tiny toy car a magical one which despite being only a centimeter long weighs as much as an actual SUV they suggest that these micro galaxies smash into each other over billions of years merging together to form the full-size galaxies we see today it's like the toy cars colliding and growing up to be real SUVs but here's the twist the jwst has taken a close look at these galaxies and found no signs of such Cosmic car crashes you would expect these colliding galaxies to show some signs of damage right maybe look a bit scrambled or mangled like a car after a fender bender but that's not what we see instead the jwst reveals galaxies that are smooth neat spirals just like the ones we see nearby there's an overwhelming lack of Galactic Fender dents in fact one study aptly titled epanic highlights that there are 10 times more of these pristine spiral galaxies than the theorists had predicted this is akin to finding a busy highway with speeding cars but no accidents this is a pretty significant blow to the Collision Theory with no signs of Galactic mergers the idea that these tiny galaxies somehow expanded into their grander counterparts falls apart if they didn't grow inide size it means they weren't small to begin with consequently the optical illusion we'd expect from an expanding universe doesn't seem to be there without this illusion the concept of expansion loses ground hence the growing unease among Big Bang enthusiasts the appearance of these small and smooth galaxies suggests that the universe may not be expanding and if it isn't the Big Bang Theory takes a major hit and there's another aspect to consider the age of stars the Big Bang Theory suggests that everything came into existence following the big explosion however if these galaxies existed before that then it would mean the big bang didn't happen this could be a GameChanger for our understanding of the universe's Origins consider the James web Space Telescope as a time machine in the words of mokaku able to peer billions of years back into the cosmos capturing images that shed light on the universe's Origins this incredible device isn't napping photos in our familiar visual Spectrum though instead it's focused on the infrared revealing colors of galaxies so distant we could never observe them with our naked eye now here's the fascinating part these colors aren't just beautiful they're telling a story about the age of the stars in these galaxies young fiery Stars blaze a vivid blue while they're older cooler counterparts similar to our sun glow in Hues of yellow and red by examining these colors astronomers can estimate the age of the star populations in these distant galaxies according to the Big Bang Theory the Galaxy's farthest away in the jwst images represent a cosmic Snapshot from around 400 to 500 million years after the universe's birth however some of these galaxies appear to house stars that are over a billion years old now if you've been following the Big Bang Theory you know that's a big problem because nothing should be older than the Big Bang itself self another expectation if the Big Bang Theory is correct is that as we gaze farther into space which means looking further back in time we should see fewer and fewer galaxies until we reach a point where there are none a cosmic Dark Age if you will however it seems to be a different story it seems the galaxies as massive as The Milky Way were already pretty common even a few hundred million years after the supposed Big Bang the new images indicate that there are at least 100,000 times more galaxies than predicted at high red Shi more than 10 so the question is how could so many large galaxies form in such a short time the answer they probably couldn't at least not under the constraints of The Big Bang Theory and that's why these discoveries are challenging the foundation of our understanding of the Universe on top of that there's a deeper philosophical quandry the nature of time itself modern physics operates on the assumption that time exists a fundamental concept deeply ingrained in our understanding of the universe intertwined with Einstein's theories of Relativity and countless scientific principles but what if time as we understand it doesn't really exist this hypothesis though radical isn't entirely new some theoretical physicists have been speculating that time might not be a fundamental aspect of reality proposing that our perception of time could be an emergent property or even an illusion in the context of the universe's Origins this could mean that our understanding of events unfolding in a sequence with a big bang as the starting point might be fundamentally flawed if time doesn't exist in the way we perceive it then the concept of a beginning like the big bang becomes meaningless this could radically alter our understanding of the cosmos requiring a new framework that doesn't rely on time as a basic component instead the universe might be better understood through a lens that views SpaceTime as a whole without a sequential start or end this Paradigm Shift could potentially address some of the vexing observations made by the jwst such as the existence of mature galaxies in what we previously thought was the early Universe if time is not a fundamental property then these galaxies could be older than the Big Bang without contradicting the laws of physics essentially without the constraint of time the universe might not have a singular beginning at all suggesting a more complex and intertwined Cosmic tapestry in this new model the cosmos might exist in a state where past present and future are not linear but coexist in a manner beyond our current comprehension this would have profound implications not only for cosmology but also for our understanding of existence itself potentially leading to groundbreaking discoveries about the nature of reality the debate between the big bang and the steady state theories represents two fundamentally different views on the universe's nature The Big Bang Theory posits a universe with a definite beginning and a history of continuous expansion on the other hand the steady state Theory suggests that the Universe has no beginning or end with a constant average density and ongoing matter creation to fill in the gaps left by expansion to sum it up the James web Space Telescope is not just offering a new lens through which we can observe the cosmos it's also presenting data that challenges are long-held assumptions about the universe's history these observations might indicate that the Big Bang Theory as it currently stands is not entirely accurate instead the universe might be Eternal without a distinct beginning or end this doesn't necessarily mean that all our understanding is wrong but it does imply that there are deeper more complex mechanisms at play which we have yet to fully comprehend it's an exciting time for astronomy and cosmology as we stand on the brink of potentially groundbreaking discoveries that could reshape our understanding of the universe
