  • People go insane over star 28 billion light years distant

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 19 16:00:10 2023
    So the Webb took a picture of a star (gravitationally-lensed) that Hubble first saw. They they reported its distance at 28B light years. That started the hand-wringing.
    The disconnect over the 13 billion year age of the universe and its now 56 billion light year diameter (that's just one size suggested) has sent some people over the edge who don't grasp that the inflation the universe experienced/is experiencing has
    nothing to do with the speed of light.

    Can you name one person who has gone "over the edge"?

    Without naming names, various creationists seem very upset at any finding that makes the Universe more than 6027 years old.

    None who I'd want to sully the reputation of. I had one guy tell me he didn't believe it so I asked about the redshift,
    he didn't believe the result.
