Will data from the James Webb Space Telescope disprove the Big Bang? Find out on Manifold

[RedshiftDrift]

Just for fun, it's interesting to read what people think on Manifold about cosmology
This market cites Eric Lerner's 2022-8 article on IAI, but there is not much discussion.

There's also "Will data from the James Webb Space Telescope increase the Hubble Tension?".

Both questions are kind of trivial. They will be resolved by mainstream astronomers... but can a few dissidents 'influence the market' and make 'mana'? 😉

That is a Good Question! I think the galaxies far away in time and space clearly and definitely disproves the BB. Why they do not see this is the strange thing.

Many people believe that you can obtain knowledge from a large number of ignorant people. This absurd idea is what drives "prediction markets" like Manifold.

As for why cosmologists can't see that distant galaxies are incompatible with the Big Bang model, it's also a psychological factor. They have so much invested in it they blame the problems on something else ("our previously-favored picture of galaxy formation in the early universe must be revised").

And taking more "epicycles" it is always possible to go on with the old theory. But not eternally in the science. It is time to change the theory. Who makes the better one? ACG?

BB theory represents the scientific mainstream world view and its refutation will go far beyond mainstream astronomy and physics

Can you give me a link, where the "baby galaxies" in Hubble are seen as big spiral galaxies in Webb telescope view?

[OlliSant]

I know there is a link but I don't find it

This is one in the beginning already.
