Dear Prof. Dr. Marc Postman:
Harvard-MIT. It doesn’t get any heavier. Like Oxford-Cambridge (DAMTP). Congratulations.
I agree that the JWST doesn’t refute the big bang or “…say we have to start from scratch.” Would you agree that it is putting pressure on big bang cosmology? Didn’t Hubble’s smoothness (George Efstathiou) put a little pressure on it, too?
Why not stop for a breather and put all the cards on the table face up? Why not take another look at the big bang and ask the question, “What start of the universe might replicate the epochs of the big bang?”
Have we really been down that road? Thank you.
Warm regards,
Bruce
