Earliest, most distant galaxy discovered with James Webb Space Telescope
“The two earliest and most distant galaxies yet confirmed, dating back to only 300 million years after the Big Bang, have been discovered using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers today announced.”
"Right now, you are adhered to the surface of a ball of iron, rock, and water, thousands of kilometers wide, spinning on an axis and, along with many other balls of various sizes and compositions and rotation periods, circling around a much larger ball of fiercely hot plasma that is hurtling through interstellar space along with several hundred billion other balls of plasma."
There is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe. Scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have triple-checked and confirmed that depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at bafflingly different rates. Live Science explains more, including how scientists are ruling out a measurement error as the cause of the “Hubble Tension.” https://flip.it/VDvM6g #Science#Space#Hubble#HubbleTension#Universe#JWST
It’s now thought that they could illuminate fundamental questions in #physics, settle questions about #Einstein’s theories, & even help explain the #universe.

The Cosmic Machine: The Science That Runs Our Universe and the Story Behind It by Scott Bembenek
Energy, Entropy, Atoms, and Quantum Mechanics form the very foundation of our universe. But how do they govern the world we live in? What was the difficult path to their discovery? Who were the key players that struggled to shape our current understanding?
A fine-tuned universe doesn't necessarily leads to the existence of god. While the fine-tuning of physical constants in our universe is intriguing and raises questions about the nature of existence, it doesn't provide conclusive evidence for the existence of a deity. There may be alternative explanations or mechanisms at play. The universe's fine-tuning could be a result of natural processes or even part of a multiverse scenario.

@gabboman I only as of last year really got a green thumb. Even then it's been iffy. I went from like 20 plants to well over 100 now. A lot of them are food bearing but no good pictures right now since they're sleeping for winter. I'm excited tho I got some pepper seedlings I can't wait to harden off when it gets warmer. Need to try and sprout some more stuff here soon too
