What James Webb Saw Near the Edge of the Universe | James Webb Part 1 

Mind boggling complexity- and it ALL worked as planned! Apparently the influence of Murphy's Law is attenuated out at the L2 point. 😉😉

With a hole in it already 🙄... Why can't we have nice stuff?!

@@zsbacskai7331 best paint by numbers EVER!

The cracks are starting to show.

@@billmilosz I can do it quick, I can do it cheap, or I can do it right. Pick one.

What is mind boggling is we have no idea what real size of the universe is, lol. We are simply guessing based on many questionable theories. The concept of a "big bang" was intended to be an insult, lol.

@@mitch_the_-itch Wrong... the TERM 'big bang' was intended to be an insult. Coined by Fred Hoyle who (as an adherent to the 'Steady State' theory of the cosmos) disagreed with the theory of an expanding Universe - the concept of which was not dreamt up to be an insult to Fred Holye/Steady State, as you stated. But anyway, he was wrong, so the 'joke' is on him.

@@mitch_the_-itch questionable theories vs Gawd did it. 😳

"Guessing" makes no difference. Even if it has "borders", then it means that our universe is inside some other space.

@@sunnyjim1355 is that not what he said?

to me its the Blue pale dot

@@refrigeratedpc3633 Yes, that is also a mind-boggling image and shows just how small Earth is in the cosmos.

That was really mind blowing. A SINGLE grain of sand.

Aa astronomer once said you could fill an Olympic swimming pool with sand and each grain of sand represented a Galaxy.. then imagine the number of Stars and Planets.

@@xavierdaume2757 Fantastic analogy, thank you! For years astronomers thought there were about 200 billion galaxies in the universe. They now say there are at least 10 times that - 2 trillion galaxies!! Of course there are probably even more than that. Staggering to contemplate!

not really, there will only be more and more discoveries. Now we are at a primitive state, we cannot even leave the Earth. Imagine in 100,000 years or 100,000,000 years (if there are any humans still alive).

extremely humbling. wow. i tried to fathom.. 13.1 BLY away.. , just wow. Those images from Webb... stunning.

@@nextlevelenglish5858 This is scary but also quite motivating. We are at a stage of human history where planetary wide, (seemingly) instant, transfer of information has only just become the norm. We possess objects in our pockets that can provide for us things our ancestors could never have dreamed of - ordering food by app to be delivered in less than half an hour, listening to any song ever recorded, using it as a torch (!). All of these innovations are less than a generation old. Consider what we are a part of in our lifetimes, simply by existing? A time period that will be remembered until, and maybe beyond, the extinction of homo sapiens? This gloomy winter seems more manageable in that perspective.

Nothing

I just hope the next world war doesn't end it and knock us back to the Dark Ages. 🤨

James Webb is one of the most telescopes of all time.

and also madness combat hank said: it's hanking time!

Or when Jack said it’s jacking time and Jack all over the universe

Lmao. I don't know why that's so damn funny to me. I think I have dain bramage.

They really slung rope all over the 'verse!

If we are even here. Lol

I think developing the tech for making microchips is closer to our technical pinnacle, although even that is far behind current classified materials development. Up until the wafer fabrication tech, things like rocket engines were also pivotal.

Lucky if I get another five years but they will be amazing that's for sure. Enjoy.

Pinnacle? It can barely even see visible light.

@@ClaimClam You might as well be using your eyes if you wanted to see visible light in space.

That's why it's called the observable universe

@@Ebola-Jones Yep

"isn't even a fraction" any proof for that?

@@seeker4trvth No , it is all estimation and "good guesses" depending how literally you want to take "isn't even fraction"

@@seeker4trvth Proof: The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light.

@MisterJoshuaTree The death of stars could just be the beginning of cosmic puberty...

Its depressing as all hell. The idea of the big freeze is so sad.

Ty for sharing your perspicacity Joshua😎

@@leeshepherd834 Thanks for your passive - aggressive specious fatuity anent Joshua's musings😎

@@ElegantAmaranth bro put away the thesaurus

Now imagine if we manage to reach there (We as the human species)

@@flyingonionring tf do you mean “we as in the human species” do you think a dog is reading your comment or something

@@drbright10 Pity that you have such a narrow perception. "We as a human species", not as an artificial intelligence, but as living, breathing human beings of flesh, blood and bone, and natural, genetically inherited intelligence. The Dr. doesn't seem to be too bright.

Yeah but the universe doesn't actually look like that to us In visible light. Only infrared, so because of that i can't help but feel disappointed 😂

We look for answers in space and declare it a miracle. Yet we have not figured out the power of our soul and spirit. The very scientist that tell us about the universe fail to tell us what happens after life. I think the The universe is enough to tell us that we are more than what we think we are. We are created by a maker who holds the universe in his hands. He started time and no man can stop it. We are project in time. One that starts and ends. We need to come to Our savior...His name is Jesus.

Well Kishorech you could learn a lot about how we and the universe were created in the Holy Bible, telescopes do not have the answers.

someone get this man some likes😂

Are you from the UK?

And to think that JWST is basically just warming up. Love seeing how Webb, Hubble, and other star gazing instruments will work together to expand our knowledge on the universe! And hears to the next 20 years of space exploration 🥂

No doubt bud. I remember the early days of Hubble well. I remember many times when my jaw would hit the ground with some of those early images... yes... those were the days... and now these are the days of James Web.

@@shep9231 I was born in 2000, around the time Hubble started sending images back to us. I'm so happy to be able to witness the era of the James Webb telescope. Feeling that same excitement seeing these images of our almost inconceivably vast universe. I'm so excited for the future of the imaging of our universe. This stuff makes me so excited.

But do you remember the extreme disappointment when it was discovered that Hubble's mirror had been ground to the wrong prescription resulting in initially fuzzy images?

Same. I think about all the scientific discoveries and political changes I'll miss. I try to comfort myself by thinking about future generations wishing they were alive during my slice of history. Don't stop dreaming, but remember that our time is just as special, just different.

You might reincarnate.

Just keep in mind that everything will seem mundane to the people who live during it. I bet if you told people 1000 years ago what we would experience now they'd react the same.

@zeromgYou will dont worry. Eat healthy and exercise regularly, time and age aren't real. ♡

I remember when my friends and I used to speculate about NASA landing on the moon, that was it possible. Then one day we watched it on television. It's quite remarkable how much things change through one's lifetime, we're at the cusp of some remarkable advances, if we don't all die from climate change.

Indeed. They should keep it operational as long as possible.

Hubble is amazing yes, but just check out those deep field shots from James Webb. And it only took 12.5 hours to get the exposure it needed. Dang! That is one insanely fantastic camera.

Im amazed that people are amazed. 🤣 These things are just toys for the rich and are of no benefit to the wider population. Nobody really cared about space apart from the goons who recieve funding for pretending that there is something out there for "us"

@@joeblogs5012 Not only are you wrong, you must be the life of every party.

We should sell Hubble to the Chinese.

I think Einstein would probably say at this point. Could not that money have been used to help the poor.

increasingly knowledgeable people become increasingly harder to control

@@mikeellchuk3787 its crazy how they do this very nice....now lets take that 10billion dollers and do some good here on our own planet

@@bradandhisbass3008 i remember mark robber said NASA only got 0,5% of US budget while military and defense got 65%, imagine those 65% alocated to poor people

Northrop Grumman and Ball Aerospace & Technologies. MURICA!

@Jeff -66 yep... and then morons who can't comprehend any of it just call them all frauds/actors.

And still there are humans throwing stones at eachother.

Just a few examples? I could list 100 almost without trying. It would take days to make a full list.

If you think there's just "few exemples" of this, maybe YOU are just focusing on bad things.

@@thecrazyjoe250 I know I haven’t, how about you?

😆😆😆

🔥🔥😁😁

Damn I'm stealing this joke

and if my grammar is incorrect, sorry about that but my english isn't perfect :)

Obsequious

@@MrShanester117 thanks for your input lol

same I like it

Ikr lol.. knowing that we are nothing compared to the universe makes me want to gives more appreciation to things which i'm usually ignore.. We are soo unbelievable small.. how can we, as mere human being, be soo arrogant and soo self-centered.. Just how grand is The Creator of all those stars..

It has nothing to do with time. It’s distance

Negative (Skylar) Nancy Alert! Lol. All of your comments/replies are empty and argumentative... none actually state contradictory facts or are valid retorts. Everything has to do with both time and distance.

​@@Toyotajunkie ikr we literally measure big distances by lightYEARS

we have only found a fraction of what is really out there. we are still learning daily about our own planet. for exploration to continue, we need not to cause WW3, so we can continue the search for meaning of the universe and our lives.

As long as you don't mention God, you're happy.

Isn’t/wasn’t everyone born in their modern era?

And the end

Me too i want to know if we go up up up in space or down that will be a mystery

It’s amazing but we shouldn’t forget that we are made of stardust, We are apart of all of these so it makes so much sense if something resembles us

Nah, not even Webb can achieve that feat

He’s in China you don’t need a telescope to see him

Or even Drax when he is moving so slow that others cannot see him.

R3tard joke

🤣🤣🖐🖐🖐

This is part of the Kardashev scale. We, as a collective intelligent civilization, need to overcome our political differences. Think about 50K years ago. We colonized. We found power in groups and consumed power. We looked at our neighbors and they had something we wanted. We learned that if we attacked and killed them with rocks, and then missiles, we can take what we need to grow and be more strong. In time we learned that we could instead trade resources instead of killing. And we do this today. We have what is on our shelves, in the stores, from another country, and a another individuals work. But we still killed our follow man to take that they have (politics). So our people can expand and survive. The strong still try to kill the weak to take. Or at least control. We are still 50K in our past. The only thing that has changed is the size of the rocks. We have science. We have Carrier groups. We have bombers. We have subs to sneak in. We have huge amount of well train troops that know how to kill. Who has more strong, NATO? Is Russians wrong. Nope. Putin is wrong to try to take from a weaker nation. But this is war games. To your point. We all must accept our follow man. And look at them as human. Get over our political differences. If you have then help those that do not. That is the start. The solution to this war is simple. Help Russian citizens. Many went to Kazakhstan, Serbia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Georgia, and Finland. Let them know we love them too?

Sadly, the lust for power is too great for some.

In order for thay we need to be hiveminded

Maybe if we just took all the money and used it to transition all the little boys to little girls and vice versa, you'd be happy.

@@ken90004 What makes you think our civilization is intelligent? Humans are the only species on earth that wipe out other species. Build weapons of mass destruction that can annihilate entire cities and leave the land uninhabitable. Create viruses that can pretty much kill and wipe out everything. The carnage we do to ourselves. Doesn't sound very intelligent to me.

I found it 6 years ago and I have been hooked.

The United States just gave Ukraine 100 billion for war. That should be illegal.

A much better bargain if you add in the millions of illegal aliens.

Imagine how much more money we would have for things like these if all countries put aside their differences and lowered their military budget

European citizens too. ESA launched it for them and shepherded it precisely into the correct orbit.

@@informalchipmunk5775 Actually military technology has led to many of the breakthoughs in space exploration.

I, too, love space and astrophysics-it has fascinated me since childhood. I am also just about to start reading the Three Body Problem trilogy. Cheers and -happy- dreadful reading to you!

M gonna rush to watch it coz of u

@@CrazyLinguiniLegs I really hope you like it! The reveals are worth it, because the ideas the author presents really sound like they could be true!

@@anuraagsrinivasan3292 I'm so desperately hoping the show is gonna be good. :)

You sparked my interest enough that I just ordered the first audiobook. I've been looking for a good sci-fi. Thanks for the recommendation.

I think that for the time being, it doesn't really matter much. Going from week and a half to less than a day is a massive leap no matter the actual time. Not only does it allow us to see things better, it drastically increases the number of different things we can look at.

if you did, you would probably see just more universe and we our planet Earth would be on the "edge". It's possible that universe is infinite in 3:rd dimension and even though it's infinite it is still expanding, since infinities have always more rooms for more guests.

Agree. See my post above regarding thoughts about the "light-year" terminology.

We are also seeing what is far away.

@@mrnicktoyou We are seeing what WAS far away ... and is now farther away.

@@JohnnyAngel8 it could be now closer.

We already did. But you're not going to get much more than a pixel.
