When the JWST captured the first images of the earliest galaxies in our universe, scientists were shocked. The galaxies appeared to be way too bright, way too big, and way too mature to have formed so soon after the Big Bang. This discovery has, rightfully so, sparked a massive debate among astrophysicists. Some even started to question the standard model of cosmology. However, using new simulations, some astrophysicists decided to investigate this controversy. Among these extraordinarily talented and bright minds is today’s guest, Chris Hayward, founding member of the FIRE project. Tune in to discover the truth about the mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn! Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:02 What is a FIRE simulation? 00:03:11 The mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn 00:12:36 How FIRE provides information on the maturity of a galaxy 00:16:18 Galaxy dynamics and black holes 00:18:50 How FIRE simulations can help resolve tensions in cosmology 00:27:32 “I was made for science.” 00:34:09 The experimental minimum 00:39:54 What if the universe is actually 26 billion years old? 00:43:35 What's next for this type of research? 00:47:25 Outro — Additional resources: 📝 Get one month of Snipd Premium for free with this link: https://get.snipd.com/Cx7S/brianSnipd Snipd lets you take Smart Notes 🧠 with AI 💡 — it’s my favorite podcast player 😀 ! ➡️ Read more about the Mysterious Brightness at Cosmic Dawn https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2023/10/05/bursts-of-star-formation-explain-mysterious-brightness-at-cosmic-dawn/ ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/ 🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

0:00.0	When astrophysicists saw the first images of the earliest galaxies in the universe from the James
0:04.8	web space telescope, they were shocked. The galaxies seemed way too bright, way too big, and way too mature to form so soon after the big bang.
0:12.4	This discovery has, rightfully so, sparked a massive debate amongst
0:16.4	astrophysicist. Is our universe really much, much older than we used to believe it was?
0:21.5	Why do these galaxies appear so bright?
0:23.7	And what have we learned about the early universe now that we have such advanced tools?
0:28.0	Here today, I'm into the impossible to shine some light on these controversial subjects
0:32.0	is none other than Dr. Chris
0:33.3	Heyward. Chris works at the Flat Iron Institute, New York City, and is part of the
0:36.8	founding core group of the Fire Project. So buckle up and get ready for a
0:41.2	fire episode into the impossible.
0:43.2	Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:56.1	Open the pod bay doors.
0:58.4	How are you doing today, Chris?
0:59.7	I'm doing great.
1:00.5	How about yourself, Brian?
1:02.0	I'm wonderful, yeah, it's really a pleasure. I thank you for your patience.
1:06.0	This paper was accepted on my birthday last September.
1:10.0	I've been meaning to get you on since then and thanks to our mutual friend
1:16.2	Professor Duchan Kariz shout out to UC and astrophysics who is the
1:20.8	collaborator in the fire collaboration and you're going to talk about that.
1:24.0	We had a few people on talking about simulations and the work of simulations and we'll have more on it and
