| 0:00.0 | This is a conversation with my good colleague Bob Zimmerman of Behind the Black |
| 0:05.2 | about the Web Telescope turning up yet another very early galaxy that is very developed with a lot of new stars making bright lights |
| 0:15.3 | 300 million years after the Big Bang. Why is this a challenge? Because theory doesn't explain the presence of this galaxy |
| 0:26.6 | nor its comparable galaxy around the same period. Very developed. Bob explains and it connects to the Big Bang |
| 0:36.4 | theory. Unsolved as of yet as I understand. More of this later. Yes, this is not the first massive and developed galaxy only 300 million light years after, |
| 0:52.0 | 300 million years after the Big Bang. |
| 0:54.1 | It is the closest to the Big Bang that's been found so far, |
| 0:57.4 | the most distant and therefore closest to the Big Bang |
| 1:01.0 | that's been found, but it's not the only one in this very very early |
| 1:04.9 | universe that's been found to be far more massive and developed than expected. |
| 1:10.5 | And in fact all the theories, cosmological theories about the Big Bang said that we would find galaxies in this very early universe that were just being born and developed. |
| 1:20.4 | Instead, they're finding very developed galaxies with a lot of star formation that are much more massive than expected. |
| 1:27.0 | It is a puzzle that causes problems for the Big Bang, because it doesn't fit the theory. |
