So you're seeing the first galaxies form with that telescope, which is one of the reasons it was built. And the reason we wanted to see is because we don't fully understand that process. As I mentioned before, we don't really fully understand why they have black holes in them, and it's something to do with their formation, but we don't understand it very well.

So it's not surprising to me that when you build that instrument and collect light from the early universe, you see an early universe that's behaving in a different way to the way that you thought it behaved. And so indeed, yeah, we're seeing... galaxies that you formed earlier than you would have predicted.

But that means that your model of the way the universe evolved is not quite right, and that's not a surprise, because we wouldn't have built the thing if we'd known everything. Right, of course. So I think it's fair to say there's nothing there that's absolutely... completely destroys our picture of how the universe evolved from the cosmic microwave background that you saw in those images earlier.

Yeah, I would say so. And I'm not an expert in that field, but my understanding is that it's interesting because we're having to refine and develop new models of the way that the galaxy is formed. And indeed, you said that it looks like the stars and the galaxies...

present in the universe earlier than we might have expected so it might be it might be that you're seeing a hint of something really profound that we didn't understand or it might be that just the models need a bit of a tweak mmm so galaxies form quicker than we expected yeah that early stages of the universe what are those red dots the red dots that were observed

In the images, the James Webb images of the early universe. Yeah, they're distant.
