      It often surprises me how good his questions actually are. Obviously he writes some down in advance but with the way he lets his guest just speak and answer those question points come up along the way as his show is like an evolving conversation. But he then questions those points with good questions that he must of come up with on the spot. And maybe Jamie thinks of some and sends him questions along the way as well. 🤷‍♂

      @abulrex_h4771 science is ever changing, but in turn the truth is getting clearer and clearer. As a result, it's just apart of science to accept theories and then accept newer improved theories in the face contradictory evidence. That's why we can be confident, because the more we discover, the more we are contradicted, the less we will be false about. Scientists are also a collection of diverse people from around the world, so bias gets naturally weeded out.

      The light bends and we can see out there, but not very detailed, yet. However, this lengthens the time organisms have had to live and die. A civilization could have been somewhere and already perished. We would just find the evidence of their end and the post-apocyliptic end also. They could have lived and died already as will happen on earth too. Some light never gets here. It is obscured by other things other huge bodies and dark matter.
      The star bloats as it is exploding and earth will be like a Chicken Nugget. We have 7 billion years to figure that one out. Mars isn't far enough out, we have to get somewhere further out that we can terraform. Elon's deep tunneling could make a facility so far under the soil in Mars, that the scorched surface only will provide chemicals and energy to be harnessed underground to human facilities. Don't do war and we'll figure it all out.

      They are exploring multiple possibilities - one proposed explanation for the discrepancy is that light could take longer to travel as it red shifts and therefore our calculation of the big bang occurring 13.8 billion years ago would be drastically wrong (or something like that) I didn't read the paper but I've seen some videos on it. For all we know there could be matter outside of what the big bang birthed, if our model for galactic formation is correct it makes more sense to me that the "too old" galaxies discovered started forming before the big bang than the light slowing down thing

      The age of the universe is pretty nailed down. What this whole video is referring to is our models of galaxy formation. Our estimates for the age of the universe are not based on galaxy formation models, so as he said, one does not effect the other. From my understanding of what the paper they are referring to said is that if the model used in the paper is correct then it should take much longer for the early galaxies to form and match what we see. However, that just means there is a problem with the model they used. Other papers have come put that change some of the parameters (Including more high mass stars, etc) and it explains the data we are getting and matches up with how the early galaxies formed in the shortened timeline.

      How? If you mean by finding the galaxies that are too old, then there are a few explanations as to why. One is that you're right, and light slows down as it red-shifts (or something like that) meaning the universe is likely that 26 billion years old or whatever it was. Another is that our model of galaxy formation is faulty and those galaxies are being improperly judged and could've formed in such a short period of time. I like the idea that there was matter before the big bang and those galaxies are too old for the big bang bc they started forming before it.

      Doppler effect on sound on earth doesn’t work in space but frequencies do. sound is nothing more then a frequency of molecules, sound is nothing but compressed air. Doppler effect on sound is why you hear sound in your left ear while the sound actually generated from the right side, Doppler effect has to take into account what is around that sound to change the sound and its frequencies. Also Lighting and the sound would fit into general relativity E=MC^2 the Energy and mass is the light at light speed times 2 the sound is the Energy and mass not at light speed so the light is two times as fast as the speed of sound. So if sound travels at rate of 1,000 miles per square foot that makes the lighting travel 2 times the speed. So if you divide that it takes half time for the light to travel the same distance as the sound does.

    You can't insist, without offering any reason why, that the source of conflict between the observed properties of galaxies and your model of how they formed during the time since the big bang, can only be due to a fault in the understanding of how galaxies form and not in the time allotted, in which for them to form. I mean you can _say_ it, but it's not logical. Logic leaves both options on the table.
    Perhaps you have good reason to rule out option 2, but which you didn't have time to share. That's understandable. But to just throw such sloppy non-logic at the public, because we're not gonna get it anyway, as if we are pigs, is insulting. You should tell us the truth whether or not we'll understand it, as a sacred duty. Or leave science communication to someone willing.
    And that makes me want to point out, also, that Logic _also_ suggests that you don't know what the hell you're talking about, _in general_ if your largest model is making false predictions - such as of galaxies are forming 2x as fast as your model allows. And if that's the case, it's logical, by extrapolation to arrive at a a sense of _general_ dubiousness regarding EVERYTHIGN that you think you know.
    _You_ should arrive at that sense of dubiousness. I don't know why you and your fellows don't. This history of science is a cascade of generations of people who were extremely confident, and all quite wrong, as observed by each successive generation. Yet the confidence renews itself each time.
    I've never, in my life, encountered anything that makes it clear to me, that you know whether the universe is a thousand, 13 billion, 26 billion, or a zillion zillion zillion years old. It seems all a framework of presumptions, to me. For example, you measure the rate of something and extrapolate backwards. But how do you know that the rate is constant? How could you ever know that? No amount of not seeing it fluctuate can tell you that it doesn't fluctuate on a larger time frame with a high probability.
    When I look around at the small part of the universe _I_ can observe, all rates seem to fluctuate. Parsimony suggests, therefore, that rates fluctuate. What proof do your fellows have, therefore, that the constant rates they believe in, are indeed constant?
    How do you know that _time_ is even constant? Doesn't space-time bend in proximity to mass? And isn't space time quite possibly not even real, as I'm hearing from your fellows? It seems to be going the way of matter, God, free-will, gravity, and just about everything but taxes.
    And yet, you can sit there in supreme confidence telling us you're sure how much of 'a bent nothingness that might not exist except as illusion,' there has been between hypothetical event A, and the present. I wonder what could induce a wavering of such faith, if anything.

      @@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 The measurement error allowance is troubling because it just reinforces the reality that astronomers employ a lot of guess work in their calculations .It leaves Methuselah on either side of the birth of the universe according to them. When it was first discovered it took years to get an estimate and by the early 2000's the age range for it was actually closer to 16 billion years ,which took it to 2 and a half billion years older than the universe . The fact that scientists had to keep working at this dilemma has to be biased to a certain degree because they were finding & figuring out how it can be as old as it is and yet young enough to be birthed before the big bang.
