  1. Sorry, such a ray doesn't exist.

  2.  @gustavedelior3683  What I am using as a guide are the known principles by which the universe is put together. All light is on the electromagnetic spectrum from gamma to radio waves. Visible light is red shifted when looked at in deep space objects because it is moving away from us. That's the Doppler effect of light. The only other known waves that travel at the speed of light are gravity waves and I can't imagine what kind of image that might provide given the proper technology. That's all I've got.

  3. No scientist has ever said we know everything. They frequently talk about how much is unknown or yet to be learned and understood.

  4.  @Nash_son_of_Zeus  You said that there were "things going through the solar system have broken the law 3--4 times in the past decade". Then name one because I know of no such examples. And WHOM is saying that Einstein's theory of relativity was broken??

  5. Faster than the speed of light fast.

  6.  @executivesteps  Yes that is indeed more accurate, but for the average person the Hubble constant is not something they are likely to appreciate. Just sayin'.

  7. It's true there is no other life like us in the universe. Other life in the universe would be completely different from us.

  8. In reality JW could look in any direction and see a galaxy just as old as this one. The universe is expanding in every direction so there is no center to the universe.

  9. No one is saying that we are looking back to the center of the universe because no matter which direction we look we could see back just as far. The reason is because the universe was and is expanding in every direction with everything moving away from everything else. With the exception of galactic clusters which are many galaxies attracted together by gravity. Like the Milky Way is being attracted to the Andromeda Galaxy and vice versa.

  10.  @philippemartin6081  What else do you want to know? I'm not a trained researcher, but I have followed this stuff for many decades.

  13. It is impressive for a galaxy to be that large so early in the formation of the universe.

  14. If we look in any direction with the JW we see galaxies that far away. There is no center to the universe because it is expanding everywhere at once.

  15. We won't be able to see the Big Bang because no visible light was present at the time. The clue to the BB is in CMB or Cosmic Microwave Background which pervades the universe and has been imaged in increasing sharpness by different telescopes.

  16. Your comment perfectly exemplifies the adage that people often ridicule what they don't understand. That would be you!!

  17. So you're not interested in the marvels of space and the most advanced space telescope ever launched into space. That's proof that not everyone can appreciate these images. Life is like that!!

  18.  @martingreen5439  Thanks for clarifying your perspective. I couldn't agree more. Have a good day.

  19. The degree red shift is related to the distance not the speed. That is why spectroscopic analysis is needed to verify the degree of red shift. The speed the galaxy is moving away from us is related to how far away it is from us because the universe itself is expanding. And it is expanding faster than the speed of light. If we could see that galaxy now which is impossible it would be something like 35 billion LY away.

  20. Every object in the sky emits some infrared light like a star or galaxy or Jupiter for example which is hot and thus emits infrared. Over the last few decades NASA has launched several space telescopes and each one could look at the universe in different wavelengths of light. From Gamma to X-ray to visible to infrared. The JW is especially good at looking at galaxies shrouded in dust because infrared light passes right through the dust. JW will look at the Andromeda Galaxy soon and give us a different perspective than when seen with visible light.

  21. Extremely unlikely. In fact for the galaxy to be all red in the early universe would be essentially impossible. Red stars suggest red giants or super red giant stars at the end stage of life. But it never happens that way because stars are different ages in a galaxy so they will come to an end at different times and in different ways.

  22. In fact even in some distant future we will no longer be able to see this distant galaxy as it is now because the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light.

  23. It took 13.5 billion years for the light to reach us from that galaxy. The further away we look the further back in time is the object we are seeing. The universe is expanding FASTER than the speed of light so if we could somehow see where it is now it would be 35 or might light years away. Conceptually this can be confusing to appreciate. Leave it alone for a while and it will come to you eventually.

  24. I don't think you realize how empty and vast space is.

  25. Maybe because you don't understand it well enough yet. So you need to give yourself time to appreciate it. Start by learning about the universe.

  26. Are you really judging the JWST on one picture of a distant galaxy?? 🙄. It's just getting started!!
    1
  27.  @adillpickle6762  To put this in the proper perspective that image is fuzzy because it is the most distant galaxy ever seen. And that distant galaxy was not even the focus, but just picked up by happenstance as part of the broader field of view. If the JWST actually focused on it for a few days then a sharper image would be obtained. That will come eventually. Like I said why judge the JW based on one image which you also mischaracterized??

  28.  @adillpickle6762  There is an old adage that applies to you perfectly which is that people often ridicule what they don't understand.

  29. It takes time for JW to collect images and process the data. Be patient.

  30. 😅😂🤣 Actually most tax payers love the images produced by the JWST. And they will keep getting better and better. The real slap in face to American tax payers is the 800 BILLION $$ military budget which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the last two decades and tens of thousands of vets suffering from PTSD or exposure to any number of toxins from their tour of duty.

  31.  @ronaldmartino2610 . I always leave a space to agree to disagree. However when you make presumptuous statements about me you have crossed a line. I happen to be 67 born ten years before the failed Gulf of Tonkin incident that the US used as a pretext for war in Vietnam. And what you apparently haven't learned about our military is the repeated violations done to service men by unjust wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. And by exposing them to Agent Orange, Gulf War Illness and more recently in the news the burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan that sickened tens of thousands of soldiers as well thousands more civilians. The military budget has grown at the expense of the this country resulting in schools struggling to obtain the basics. With disabled people struggling to live on a paltry SSI account leaving them perpetually in poverty barely able to obtain basic needs. By most people I mean that based on the vast majority of comments that I have seen on dozens of videos about the JW over the last couple months. It's unfortunate that you got stuck in some sort of anti-science backwater and consequently can't see the forest for the trees when it comes to the amazing gifts that this telescope will provide while also minimizing the devastating effect of the military industrial complex. That's what Eisenhower warned us about 60 some years ago.
