Theory Briefing

  • The James Webb Space Telescope captured early galaxies far too large and mature to fit standard Big Bang timeline predictions.
  • Some astronomers say these findings weaken confidence in cosmic evolution models that have anchored astrophysics for decades.
  • The crisis mirrors Kuhn's model of paradigm shifts — anomalies accumulating until a dominant theory can no longer hold.
