A New Hypothesis Of How The Universe Formed?

I'm crap at cosmology/astrophysics/religious_nuttery.

I'm the first to admit it. Most of my thoughts are wild stabs taken in the general direction of some brainfart or other I've had, and sometimes they're close, sometimes they're further off the wall than a Liberal's justification for keeping on feeding business to their Fossil Fuel Cartel mates' pockets.

So

We used to think the Universe was 14bn years old. Then we changed our minds: And why was because of the JWST's fndings.Those made scientists reach for new hypotheses because the telescope found galaxies that appear to come from earlier than we expected the first galaxies to form. By a significant amount.

Hmmmm....

If JWST can look back to 10,000,000,000 and we theorise the Universe to be 14,000,000,000 years old.

And if the things the JWST found were well-formed galaxies.

And if we theorise that there shouldn't have been galaxies yet then I can see several possibilities:

  1. Our theories about the age of the Universe are wayyy wrong. 
    1. I can't find any real justification for this because "tired photons?" Come on. Better yet, come back April 1st. Or come back yesterday because at least that would support your hypothesis.
  2. Our theories about the speed of formation are wayyy wrong.
    1. There doesn't appear to be the time in that first portion of the expansion for things to randomly clump together and form into such huge accretions, and I'm happy to concur that this is probably correct. 
  3. Time proceeded at a far different rate in the first few billion years than we think.
    1. Everyone agrees that we have nine tenths of five fifths of zero real understanding of what happened at the instant the Universe began, or even which exact infinitesimally tiny time period was the instant after that beginning. 
  4. Light itself moved at a different rate in the first few billion years than we think.
    1. Again - we know that light is so fast that it reaches its destination in zero time in its own timeframe which is infinite time in ours. But that can't be if the Universe is cyclic because then there's be an end point to time and therefore that time dilation parity would not be able to be satisfied.
  5. And so, hear me out on this: The Universe is cyclic and since there's effectively no space or time between Big Bang and Big Bust, we're seeing "leftover galaxies" from the previous cycle(s).
    1. Think. The "interval" between one deflation and the next inflation is by definition unmeasurable. That means one follows the other instantly. And suppose that the old "everything can be changed into everything else but the total amount must remain the same" sort of leaks at each cycle. Slowly the amount of stuff in each Universe is leaking away every cycle. 
    2. It can be made up of whatever "stuff" creates a Universe (or some other construct that we wouldn't necessarily recognise as a Universe) and it just happened by coincidence that this Universe and the last one just happened to be of a largely similar consistency. 
    3. The leakage has taken away a small amount of something and that mainfgests to us now as the last few billion years of the previous "whatever" having stayed in existence for the new inflation to take place in.

In other words we could very well be living in a slowly evaporating bubble of (in/de)flation cycles that'll eventually all leak away to "the other side" of wherever (in/de)flation cycles go to be part of a bigger cycle of a whole range of unimaginable "(in/de)flation cycle bubles."

It really doesn't matter to us since we presume we're in a still-young Universe so we probably wouldn't make the next tail-end. And even if we were in that tail, it'd still decay to nothing and be consumed in the deflation after the next. 

I'm eager to hear from you all, and I'm happy to be told why it's an unworkable hypothesis based on a purely thought experiment. You can (I think?) comment here, or better yet, contact me on the Mastodon link below this graphic. If you click the rolled-up newspaper in the graphic you'll be taken to my News Stand to see all the latest posts across all my blogs and even sign up for my newsletter that comes out once a week. Also if you'd share my articles to your messaging and social network friends that would help me immensely.

Lastly, if you would click the KoFi cup or Paypal symbol and make a donation that would also help me to pay the costs involved with the blogs and projects and save me from having to try and cover them out of my pension. And yes I am indeed a pensioner and life is indeed hard and it would indeed be nice to keep the estimated fifty to a hundred bucks a month I'm currently investing in this, hoping that a few people will see fit to donate the price of a cup of coffee per month. So please do click.
