It's not the same.

No, but the minute I entered the black hole through the wormhole, that universe... You have to come in contact with other matter.

All right.

What you got for me?

Hi, Dr. Tyson.

A long-time listener, first-timer inquirer from Athens, Georgia.

With all the excitement around JWST's discoveries of unexpected... That would be James Webb Space Telescope.

You're so annoying.

Unexpected mature galaxies.

A question struck me.

Why does Neil Tyson have friends?

That's a weird question.

What if we're not actually seeing galaxies from the early universe, but instead light entering from beyond it?

Not unlike a pinhole camera, could the Big Bang have been a narrow portal from a parent universe and JWST is now picking up photons that bled through that pinhole event horizon?

Maybe those galaxies look so evolved because they are.

Thanks for everything.

So how is that relevant here?

Right, but that's sort of answering the question from 30,000 feet.

So if we're not actually seeing galaxies from the early universe, but instead light entering from beyond it, not on like a pinhole camera.
