James Webb Space Telescope begins historic mission

[sd455dan]

I just watched this new show about the JWST on Nova......very cool. It tells the story from start to finish and talks about the just released pictures. It also compares JWST to the Hubble and how different they are.

Thanks for reminding me.

East coast must get it first.
I have had it set to record for a week now, which starts in less than an hour local time.

It is still believed that the Big Bang happened. So far JWST does not disprove that.

No, James Webb Space Telescope Images Do Not Debunk the Big Bang

Since we are in the land of make believe what credibility does the JWST have?
If the Big Bang "happened" what started nothing into something?

We could explain it to you but we can't understand it for you...!

It's a telescope. The biggest one ever made (sort of) in the best place one had ever been put in the history of man. What it is showing is amazing. It does not have nor lack credibility - it is a telescope. It views and records images. That is all.

But you do raise one of the great philosophical questions of mankind. What happened before the BB? Why did it happen? And many other questions we can only ponder but never really answer. The one that always gets me is the one of stepping through the scale of the universe. I am in this city on this continent on the earth in this solar system... etc until you get to "in this universe". But then what? What is the universe in? And then then next logical question of what is THAT in? And you get the idea of infinity. This is where people speak of God and multiverses and many other things that nobody can know. You can "believe" but you cannot know. But I've got my shop and my tractor and I am happy for that, so who cares?
