“For the first time, we have discovered galaxies only 350 million years after the Big Bang...”

I read that the Webb telescope had shown that there was no Big Bang.

A bit confused. What makes them think they have zeroed in on the beginning direction of the Big Bang. Maybe what they see is on the edge of the beginning of a fathomless emptiness, except for a few trillion galaxies. I was always taught there is no up or down in space, no east west, no beginning and no end.

Have the scientists started to hazard a guess as to Who (or What) made the Big Bang go “bang”?

Is it long ago in a galaxy far far away?

“350 million years after the Big Bang”

I read here on FR that one of the first big discoveries of the JWST was that the Big Bang Theory was busted. That there is no singular point of origin.

That sure is a long long time ago. And that galaxy is far far away.

I was always taught there is no up or down in space, no east west, no beginning and no end.

That is a plausible theory, but hardly the only plausible theory. Cosmology has more questions than answers at present.
