I struck up a friendship several years ago with an 80 year old retired physician and the Webb was a topic of constant conversation. Can’t tell you how happy I am that he’s still around to enjoy the first photos.
I am a nuclear engineer that really wanted to be an astronomer. This is one of the BEST documentaries that PBS/NOVA has ever done! BRAVO! I wish EVERYONE could watch this. Simply blown away. I was brought to tears - a moving and emotional experience.
Yeah since w bush adm cut 200m. Out of their yearly budget documentaries have either been made for dramatic effect(ie. Dog v. Bear!) or had some agenda( 911 the perfect storm).
I have loved NOVA since I was a little boy. My first memories of this treasured program go back to the Voyager mission. I still remember the feeling of awe and wonder that only an eight year old boy (or girl!) can experience as I looked into the swirling eye of Jupiter for the first time. Watching this episode on the STAGGERING achievement of JWST is a very welcome reminder that deep down, I still carry inside of me the spark which PBS shows like NOVA & Cosmos helped germinate all those years ago! In a time when our public discourse is so toxic, and our politics so divisive, I am grateful to NOVA for so expertly telling the stories of humankind's greatest achievements. You've restored a small sliver of my faith in my species. Thank you! ✨☮
BUT he was negative. He wanted to share his passion for NOVA, started hen he was a kid. Yet till had to bring up politics and the vileness of it. Sorry, he's a passive aggressive pessimist and couldn't be positive and hopeful if he wanted to.
@@zorkwhouse8125 Hi I'm Marty Stouffer and THIS is Wild America 👍👍. I can still hear that intro Music..I use to get so excited to watch that when it came on NC PBS
One thing many people don't realize, and even my friends wonder if I'm making stuff up, is that much of our most advanced scientific research, and then what trickles down to technology, is gleaned from astrophysics. The principles of physics and chemistry are illuminated, and thus was developed microchips, and subsequently computers, cell phones, flat screens, etc.I read it in Scientific American magazine years ago. My own contribution to clarifying this is to explain that the universe is like a giant physics lab, with much more varied conditions than we could ever hope to create here on earth in laboratories. So just as water runs downhill here on earth, we see demonstrated the principle of gravity. As Robert Heinlein said (through one of his characters) we humans have a distorted view of physics, having observed it all in a gravity well.
I followed this project for years and I can remember saying how ridiculous this project was for being so much over budget and so extremely delayed. Now I understand it and I am glad they took their time. Just these first images are mind blowing. Excited to see what we discover
I remember hearing so many different launch dates and learning to not get my hopes up. Ten years later and now it's the absolute cutting edge of astronomy. Amazing.
The technical experience and development this team has accumulated over the decades is worth every penny, IMHO. Still, the possibility that a similar sized primary mirror could be lofted in the next few years WITHOUT folding is just astonishing. That's what over a decade of delays can sometimes bring.
I'm so thankful to be alive during a time where something like this is possible. It really opens up the door seeing the universe in a way we have never done before. Thank you PBS for getting this made and put out so quickly after the first images were released. Amazing.
I can't help but think of Jodie Foster's words in, "Contact," when, crying, she said, "poetry... they should've sent a poet..." The beauty visible to us because of the efforts of so many at NASA, ESA, Canada's Space Agency, the Contractors and Sub-contractors and the patience of family, friends and even Congress... Is simply awe inspiring. Thank you all for a glimpse.
Congress. Republicans tried to kill this project. Being conservative seems to mean that finding out something beyond our apparent limitations is just too dangerous, in their opinion.
Single points of failure. 344 instances that could have scuttled the entire mission. The level of precision and accuracy is just staggering. Bravo team, congratulations!
i pretty much grow up watching this space telescope being made over the years heck i was born just 1 year before it started so pretty much all my life & seeing it finally working! after all this time it's way beyond worth their are no words for this feeling to see this amazing project of humanity's will power to learn more about the universe & were all we came from because think about we all made of star dust from the dawn of existence from the big bang at 1 point we all existed at 1 point & here right now we'er looking out into the unknown & yet in one of the great truths of this universe we'er looking at very ancient stars very ancient solar systems those objects we'er looking came from the big band just like us & we'er looking back at ourselves in way in many ways in fact i love the fact those people worked so hard the effect put into for such a loooong time for this amazing project thank you so much for all the people who worked so hard on this projects & for those who left the James webb Project for their own reasons as well thank you so much as well no matter your reasons are thank & thank you for who came before with Hubble Space telescope & many different ways of going into studying it exploring it many different other ways as well going mars visiting the edge of the solar system to beyond i'm glad we'er as a species to enjoy this project no matter what thank you all for who loves to explore even the littlest of things we here & it's amazing
I'm 70, and have been watching NOVA since it first aired. It's been an amazing journey to see all of these episodes and, as you mentioned, all of the discoveries. Thanks for sharing.
When I was a young boy I was so excited when NOVA play I cried because I knew I was going to learn something new.Now I am a grown man but Nova is still teaching.This may sound korny well.....Thanks NOVA for changing my life.
I have followed NASA since the Gemini program, and have been intrigued with every project. Alan Shephard, first American into space; John Glen, first orbit of the earth, the Apollo program which let to Neil Armstrong taking the first steps onto an alien planet; the space shuttle, the ISS, NASA's partnering with private aerospace enterprises, and now to the most recent gem, James Webb Telescope. I am fortunate enough to have witnessed so many advances in human endeavors. My next adventure will be to observe a live launch of the Artemis program and the activation of the leading edge Orion deep space capsule. Right now I give thanks to the Lord, NASA, and NOVA.
This what PBS should be doing! Well done PBS and nova. Thank you to every single person that was a part of the team that made this amazing piece of equipment come to life!
The contrast between the Hubble and JWST images of the Carina nebula brought tears, unbidden, welling up, and overflowing my eyes. Billions stars being born. Our God is too small.
I've been following the JWST for 12 years, been excited for it for a very very long time. I couldn't help it, when it launched, I sat on my couch and just cried. What an amazing moment.
Oh really? You cried? How sweet. But the fact is, the only thing you'll ever see will simply be tiny bright lights and nothing more because everything is JUST TOO FAR AWAY. Why don't you try crying over Genesis 1:1. Now THERE is the most amazing achievement that ever was!
This whole project just...it brings me to the verge of tears. I just cannot comprehend how they were able to do it. It's one of the most incredible feats of human engineering, planning, technology, science and complexity in history. It's a "miracle" that it actually happened. Especially when the government has been so seeped with anti intellectualism, anti science and anti truth for the last 5+ years. There's so much hatred, pain and suffering in the world. So many terrible people, so much evil, greed, apathy and malice. We see it every day. It can be hard to hold onto hope for humanity sometimes. But the JWST not only being designed and built, but successfully launched in the face of so much adversity. With impossible odds. It is proof of how deeply marvelous humans can be. Everyone who was involved with achieving this are absolute heroes. I cannot wait to see what discoveries JWST brings to us in the coming years.
This really is a high point in science. Such a huge effort by so many people with nothing short of perfection being acceptable, wow! What a wonderful time to be alive!
But as this ( ua-cam.com/video/-6Npwza43NE/v-deo.html ) video shares life on Earth makes up 27% of time, (27% the total time the universe has so fair existed). That makes me think that maybe life on Earth is almost certainly not first but maybe extremely early compared to when others life forms will form
which DID NOT come into being by the "big bang" as asserted in the first 10 seconds of the video. These people are DELUDED. All they care about is finding life on other planets in a vain attempt to prove evolution.
420 thinking as I'm watching all the people go by... they're like little galaxies and I'm thinking 8 billion people and that's just people, imagine the creator of this universe how unbelievable this creation 'is'... enjoy your journey.......
Everything we thought we knew about the Universe just changed with JWST. PhD's doing lectures are going to be a bit awkward. Their comfort zone just got busted.
@@randibgood Thank you. A few months ago, I was reading an article on JWST. I must have misread something, I thought it said only IR on it. Turns out they have full color too. Spend 25 years building it, with 50 billion dollars, and only get IR. I was also confused about mirror. I was thinking it was the actual sensor. Nope, just primary mirror coated in tiny layer of Gold. The actual sensors must be huge. Any data on actual sensors ?
@@SJR_Media_Group Just what was in this documentary. But 344 points of possible failure, would be enough for people that were not truly dedicated, to just say no!
They did a great job!! I rather have delays to make sure everything is perfect than have problems. You have to understand just how complicated this thing is! And so far it is perfect!!!! I praise and have the highest respect for the people behind the scenes that researched and built this incredible machine!! You are the people who are the real heroes to me! Look what you created!! I hope you are so proud of yourselves!!!! We are going to find out things we probably wish we didn't know about. But some incredible things!
The telescope it is working but the engineering is terrible in this country in NASA. So it is a disaster but working doesn't mean that it is built professional
Lol I can do same generate same image on my phone. Someone with skills in Photoshop will do much better. You with your emotional eruptions just prove that you have no idea about machinery, engineering, elementary scince even. And like you billions. Pokemon hunters.
I'm proud to work at the plant that created the mirrors. They are made of beryllium and the only source in the western world is us. It's truly a wonder metal.
These first images alone were worth the what seemed almost endless pushbacks, setbacks. And Delays. Folks, we live in the Age of the JWST. We are finally here. GO WEBB GO! God Speed. And May we learn all we can from this miracle of a space telescope. Thank you to all who worked countless hours. Days, months and Years.
This incredible engineering feat brought back the feelings I had when we launched the Mercury manned capsules...and the Gemini...and the Appollo...and the first Moon landing. This is a worldwide effort by people for people and not a con by oligarchs and their Muskbrats who could care less for the people who make it possible.
@pyropulse Do you recognize the level of technological expertise it took to achieve this? Can you name some other projects that rival it? Perhaps you’d think of CERN, or what else? Maybe you just don’t think engineering and technology are worthwhile pursuits. But you are using the internet, so... you must at least be aware of the value of technology.
Such a comprehensive documentary on the building of the Webb and its amazing and beautiful results. Three cheers to all the teams that worked on this path-breaking project. Such vivid clarity. Now, we are in no doubt about these beautiful cosmic companions anymore.
They edit the color in. But all in all its really amazing! A lot of the things colored if they just let us see the original we wouldn't be able to see through a lot of it even though we wouldn't be able to see the original color for so much of each pic because it is out of our wave lengths
The saddest part about this is, once the pictures came in very few people gave a f*ck. not realizing how amazing it is to live in our time, to see these images no humans have ever seen before us. I'm glad there is at least a couple millions of us who care, and admire and dream of a space future.
It amazes me how huge and old the universe is, and I regret how little of it we will ever experience. When the light that we're observing left our *nearest* major galactic neighbor, Andromeda, we humans didn't even yet exist. We are only about 1/7500th through the starlight era of our universe. If there will ever be life elsewhere, it will likely emerge in the future. Statistically, we *are* among the first.
I'd also love to know where you got this information and if its correct....I'm FASCINATED with everything space cosmos dimensions theories and possibilities!
I've been obsessed the last few days about these images and trying to understand their immense meaning. I am so grateful to PBS and NOVA for this program. It was a beautiful and informative documentary. Please, keep them coming as new images are released!
A picture and date I will never forget. The most detailed and beautiful pictures of distant galaxy's on my birthday. Thank you for that. And thank you for all of the hard work of the many people involved. I cant wait to see whats observed next.
I watched this Nova Documentary before, but I love the fact that they updated the documentary showing the latest images from the telescope in July 2022 in the last 5 minutes of the documentary.
There is nothing to be proud of. Failure after the failure due to poor engineering. Next time pay the Chinese, they are smart Engineers they do it with no mistakes and in a very short time. Look at the Chinese Engineers Young Smart, and the NASA failure after failure nothing done on time, nothing done right. Because the telescope is working now doesn't mean that was built good, screws fell off, it means it is a disaster.
"We can't go fix it!" So important. The Hubble was launched with a flaw in it's primary mirror. It was only fixed because the space shuttle could reach it and maintain it. James Webb had no such back up plan.
*Astrophysicist Dr. John Mather, the senior project scientist for the James Webb telescope, is my step father’s brother. He was adopted, but still fascinating. Dr. Mather is a very very very intelligent man.*
Wow, the relief the team felt after the telescope was fully deployed must’ve felt AMAZING!! I wish I could’ve been in that room, where everyone was at! 😆
Out of this world, COOL!!! Well done, team! Can you imagine a 25 year project where everything has to work flawlessly or the whole project is a bust, and cannot be fixed? The Cartwheel Galaxy image I saw today is SO awesome, and shows so much more detail than the Hubble captured.
I remember seeing my first images of Hubble. Now this. Its humbling that we as a species could spend the rest of our existence exploring the universe and in the end we would barely be scratching the surface of what's out there.
Species?! Squh´eeeRRRRT! Pump yo' brakes a minute there big fella! Mr. BnB!.And contrary to what you've been taught in 🏫 and college. Humans never evolved or developed, in as much as animals have never either. It is infact impossible for that to have ever taken place. 2ndly). A human being is no more part animal, than an animal is part human. That's what evolutionists teach. But to a logical, and rational thinking minded individual. Creation is the only logic, and a creator who goes by the name of Jehovah, is the only rationale behind all our as human beings objective realities, and existence.
THE BEST program on any color screen with moving pixels that would be NOVA.!!! THANK YOU.!!! PBS you're truly awesome.!!! I was literally in tears seeing those images the James Webb sent down to earth for the first time and was it really sure exactly why I was in tears it just feels like it brings us in touch with our universe in a way that even the most experienced Tibetan monk couldn't hold a candle to it's AMAZING.!!!
Awesome! What more can I say. We have an amazing backyard. I have to believe that the universe reflects intelligent design and not just random change, it is to perfectly aligned. Any more than a Rolex just magically came together and keeps perfect time.
This is so freaking amazing! It makes me reflect on how humans are capably of things that were so unbelievable not many years ago. The only thing that keeps unchanged is also how horrible we can be to each other. I really hope as a race at almost point of extinction we get better.
Extinction? Maybe another point in evolution. All that will happen is the weak ( both physically and mentally) will be weeded out of the cycle of life while the strong and the traits they carry will sustain.
They ask are we alone. It doesn't take a telescope to answer that question. And I don't believe that our true living powerful creator would just show himself unless u are able to make accurate interpretation about who what and why. People can't handle this truth. Our creator always existed. It's no such thing as time. Only for us humans to be adaptive to it. It's no such thing as day and night until he created this place. It's a transforming process of it all. No such thing as time. That's how we have been programed to be adaptive to our living arrangements. Animals don't keep up with what time and day it is. They just exists! Because of God's transforming transcending invisible powers and creative imagination and true abilities we where finally unlocked. We was trapped as of nothing accept we was on an assembly line with trillions of our creator ideas 💡. Our creator reveals himself and that's when it's all role call. Our God is a spirit. With great powers and truly amazing like no other.
Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy but if they believe we're in the past dimension of big bang space-time they'll never bother to contact us. According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-). Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time . The time traveling Voyager 1 space probe launched in 1977 is still communicating with Earth having left our solar system, even if it traveled another 14 billion years provided the circuitry held up it would still communicate back to Earth. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy. Just because the light and images from planet Mars are assumed to take 20 minutes to reach earth does not mean the Martians have traveled into another space-time dimension where the stars, planets and galaxies are in different locations from Earth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. To travel distance requires potential energy, an observer can have no effect on a moving objects kinetic energy-Relativity debunked. If there is no universal time in time dilation then there are no universal coordinates so time couldn't exist. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. When certain frequencies of light are shined onto metal electrons are ejected instantaneously without delay according to the photoelectric effect yet Einstein's disciples tell us the speed of light is limited to 186,000 miles per second. Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. Light travels in both directions, anyone having a conversation with their friends understands this simple phenomenon yet Einstein's disciples believe people on earth are time traveling backwards and forwards in space-time relative to one another. Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. The biggest threat to humanity is human stupidity. Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-). The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips images from left to right, but according to Einstein the images you see are the result of projectile light particle photons being transported into past and future dimensions of space-time. Explain how particle light photons can re-converge their molecular structures in mirrors and how this is done without violating the law of conservation of energy. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in all directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel all directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-). Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Einstein's projectile light particle proton has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime and because so wavelengths of light cannot stretch through spacetime! Red-shifts are simply the result of decelerating electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - longer wavelengths in red shift. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-).
The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Similar to a mirror light is a real-time wave reflector where light and images travel in straight lines-in all directions in space as they do on earth. The faintest stars and galaxies are neither in a past or future dimension of Einstein's space-time, they're in real-time. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light from our Milky Way galaxy. Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel in both directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second :-) There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. The Doppler effect is wrongly conflated with cosmological Redshift. As one approaches a blowing horn the perceived pitch is higher until the horn is reached, then becomes lower as the horn is passed. This phenomenon is caused by the physical movement of a mechanical soundwave traveling through the medium of air, similar to throwing a rock in a pond, the rock creates physical movement in the medium of water. Cosmological Redshifts are merely the GoPro fisheye effect where wavelengths appear to lengthen-stretch from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" If space was curved-warped according to Albert Einstein's curved-warped gravity theory gravity waves would effect time and the perfect balance in solar system orbital mechanics throwing planets off course-out of orbit in a collision course towards the sun where a planets gravity and time would increase and decrease with different velocity rates as they ascend and descend the curves of gravity waves. According to general relativity ie gravitational lensing (a warped field of vision in telescopes) is due to (mass) between a distant light source and the observer. If that were true earths huge mass would distort the light of the observer as well making telescopes unusable. So only other planets in the universe are affected by gravitational waves? In 1916 before it was known that man could travel in space Albert Einstein based his gravitational wave theory on relativity. In 2021 most of us realize if gravitational waves existed in space astronauts would be crushed like an underwater diver traveling to the bottom of the sea. Einstein's disciples defend relativity by saying gravity is a weak force, yeah so weak it affects planets and galaxies just not astronauts, the discovery space station or droplets of water in space? According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-).

If light has a limitation of speed how do Einstein's disciples explain time dilation and the increasingly faster rate of expansion of the theorized Big Bang? Maxwell's equations state light has a constant speed of 299792458 m/s but if light slowed down its kinetic energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy. To govern, limit or decelerate kinetic energy takes more kinetic energy duh Applying the same equations of Einstein's time dilation on earth a Democrats gravity, speech, hearing and eyesight would be in a past dimension of space-time :-).

@@michaelbariso3192 regardless of what all you have said. I still can't exclude the one true living powerful spirit that has his hands in creating everything from some source of energy that flows from his transcending transforming mental powers like no other. I can't explain where God came from. However I can give him an extra voice that testifies about who and what he did for me in my lifetime. People have trouble believing in one single individual. Once upon a time I never used to know any of what I know now that am saying. So of course something must have happened. What would our creator be without creating earth. Intelligent life that we are Trapped inside of until he decides to put us into what's sustainable for living survival arrangements. Our creator himself is proof of existence of intelligent life. Our creativity all came from his patent idea 💡. He downloaded information to certain individuals to think about something useful. We are working living cells operating like what's working and living inside of us
Totally Awsome what beautiful Galaxy out there and what beautiful pictures if it to these scientists men and women worked very hard to have us see these Awsome images. Thank you for your hard work on this new Telescope for the world to see 👍✌️
Idk what’s the big problem , as a tax payer , 10 billion dollar through a 20 year spand is a drop in the bucket vs the Military 700 Billion dollar budget , and NASA probaly spent most of its funding on the Telescope which is actually going to give us answer and progress humanity, I’m so glad we have private companies stepping into the Space industry because a certain side of the US government is a Joke. We need to stop worrying about China and focus in advancing our civilization and protecting our environment.
Of all the things we will learn from this amazing machine to me the one thing I look forward to most is the prove of life evolving some place other than planet earth.
@Hidden Aspects the CMB proves the universe is close to 14 billions years old, so yeah I ACCEPT what they are telling me. I’m not a believer in anything.
There is an important name missing in this documentary. Gregory L. Robinson. I would suggest that viewers check out the July 8, 2022 edition of the Wall Street Journal, the Exchange section. Dr. Robinson was the NASA engineer and administrator who took the mess that the Webb telescope program had become and got the project back on track and completed. It could not have happened without him. It should not be that significant, but Gregory Robinson is African-American and grew up in poverty in the South. It's an extraordinary story and his absence from the narrative of this documentary is a disgrace to Nova and PBS and perhaps even NASA for not vetting this film. There was also a New York Times article and an interview with Dr. Robinson on NPR. So there is no excuse for this particular instance of neglect.
I don't have any other sources (yet) on what you say. but I have been into science, knowledge and human actions since I was a small child. My bet is that you are quite correct. Believe it or not, your ability to communicate properly in written English is my first huge clue. And I have tested this theory many times throughout my 68 years. I started with Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Ayn Rand (though I think less of Rand as a mentor now, more like a misguided but brilliant professor). Your perspective makes me wonder, is this anything like Nikola Teslas story, minus the mental illness? I hope PBS does a second video on this subject illuminating your part of the story. Maybe that will explain some of the first part...obsessing over every bolt, decades in the making etc.
Every time I see one of these deep field shots and all the galaxy's out there I feel so humbled and impressed that what is out there. It's unimaginable and sooooo very cool the team could pull this off. Can't wait for more images cuz I'm hooked.🌌 👀
I saw one piece of data from NASA not long ago that just fucking wrecked my mind!........It was concerning the number of stars in our "observable Universe"! Try to wrap your head around this one: For every grain of sand on planet Earth, there are 10,000 stars!
That is incredible. Amazing what people can do! Those pictures make me speechless. I can't wrap my head around it. it breaks my heart to see the people in Texas during hurricane Harvey. That storm was terrible. So many people lost their lives and pets and homes. I hope someday we can do more to help all the people here on earth too.
I know. When I was a kid I wanted to be a scientist among other things. I wish I would have pursued that more. Still, modern day technology has allowed my inner ‘scientists curiosity’ to stay well at hand thanks to PBS and NOVA. They sure have stood the test of time.
@@randyzeitman1354 Well if you want to go on that thread and tangent, I'd say we need to not have as many children, have better diets, vote for better leaders, and conserve our water and habitats so yeah, there are many wonderful problems to solve that you allude. What have you done (other than make comments like this) to help the world?
I love this stuff it’s absolutely beautiful unreal how much intelligence that went in to the making of it I’m 61 years old I really hope to see the biggest discoveries ever seen before I move on to the afterlife that would be awesome
@Hidden Aspects You pool sole, I would like unity among nations and you would prefer division. No wonder we have the turmoil in our world today with people like you. I pity and pray for you.

I struck up a friendship several years ago with an 80 year old retired physician and the Webb was a topic of constant conversation. Can’t tell you how happy I am that he’s still around to enjoy the first photos.
I can't even imagine the dance his eyes must be doing looking at these initial images! He must be absolutely giddy!
I wonder how many people appreciate the fact that what the JWST shows us today is no longer there!
@@richardbriet818 I think that is one of the coolest parts!
That's so heartwarming
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it just float's through space taking random pictures lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 another Hoax by a corrupt organization!
I am a nuclear engineer that really wanted to be an astronomer. This is one of the BEST documentaries that PBS/NOVA has ever done! BRAVO! I wish EVERYONE could watch this. Simply blown away. I was brought to tears - a moving and emotional experience.
I Will Spread This Around And Hope Others Find It. Bless You For Your Hard Work And Love. I'm Crying With You!!
Yeah since w bush adm cut 200m. Out of their yearly budget documentaries have either been made for dramatic effect(ie. Dog v. Bear!) or had some agenda( 911 the perfect storm).
I have loved NOVA since I was a little boy. My first memories of this treasured program go back to the Voyager mission. I still remember the feeling of awe and wonder that only an eight year old boy (or girl!) can experience as I looked into the swirling eye of Jupiter for the first time. Watching this episode on the STAGGERING achievement of JWST is a very welcome reminder that deep down, I still carry inside of me the spark which PBS shows like NOVA & Cosmos helped germinate all those years ago! In a time when our public discourse is so toxic, and our politics so divisive, I am grateful to NOVA for so expertly telling the stories of humankind's greatest achievements. You've restored a small sliver of my faith in my species. Thank you! ✨☮
same here - used to watch it when I was a kid on I think Sunday nights either after or before the show "Wild America" with Marty something or other...
BUT he was negative.
He wanted to share his passion for NOVA, started hen he was a kid. Yet till had to bring up politics and the vileness of it.
Sorry, he's a passive aggressive pessimist and couldn't be positive and hopeful if he wanted to.
I'd love to see a lift off at NASA...is there a site when they fire off a rocket? I'd love to see that finally.
@@zorkwhouse8125 Hi I'm Marty Stouffer and THIS is Wild America 👍👍. I can still hear that intro Music..I use to get so excited to watch that when it came on NC PBS
@@OkRelic_3388 100% 🙂
One thing many people don't realize, and even my friends wonder if I'm making stuff up, is that much of our most advanced scientific research, and then what trickles down to technology, is gleaned from astrophysics. The principles of physics and chemistry are illuminated, and thus was developed microchips, and subsequently computers, cell phones, flat screens, etc.I read it in Scientific American magazine years ago. My own contribution to clarifying this is to explain that the universe is like a giant physics lab, with much more varied conditions than we could ever hope to create here on earth in laboratories. So just as water runs downhill here on earth, we see demonstrated the principle of gravity. As Robert Heinlein said (through one of his characters) we humans have a distorted view of physics, having observed it all in a gravity well.
Thank you to these beautiful people who have done such monumental work.
I followed this project for years and I can remember saying how ridiculous this project was for being so much over budget and so extremely delayed. Now I understand it and I am glad they took their time. Just these first images are mind blowing. Excited to see what we discover
I remember hearing so many different launch dates and learning to not get my hopes up. Ten years later and now it's the absolute cutting edge of astronomy. Amazing.
The US government can blow $10 billion in a day! Hell they can do trillions now
The technical experience and development this team has accumulated over the decades is worth every penny, IMHO. Still, the possibility that a similar sized primary mirror could be lofted in the next few years WITHOUT folding is just astonishing. That's what over a decade of delays can sometimes bring.
It's all cgi man. Not real. Space isn't real like they portray to us
I feel like we are going to find out something that we didn't want to find out. Something that will ruin the mystery of life
I'm so thankful to be alive during a time where something like this is possible. It really opens up the door seeing the universe in a way we have never done before. Thank you PBS for getting this made and put out so quickly after the first images were released. Amazing.
I can't help but think of Jodie Foster's words in, "Contact," when, crying, she said, "poetry... they should've sent a poet..." The beauty visible to us because of the efforts of so many at NASA, ESA, Canada's Space Agency, the Contractors and Sub-contractors and the patience of family, friends and even Congress... Is simply awe inspiring. Thank you all for a glimpse.
Congress. Republicans tried to kill this project. Being conservative seems to mean that finding out something beyond our apparent limitations is just too dangerous, in their opinion.
It's not true

i pretty much grow up watching this space telescope being made over the years heck i was born just 1 year before it started
so pretty much all my life & seeing it finally working! after all this time it's way beyond worth their are no words for this feeling
to see this amazing project of humanity's will power to learn more about the universe & were all we came from because think
about we all made of star dust from the dawn of existence from the big bang at 1 point we all existed at 1 point & here right now
we'er looking out into the unknown & yet in one of the great truths of this universe we'er looking at very ancient stars very ancient
solar systems those objects we'er looking came from the big band just like us & we'er looking back at ourselves in way in many ways
in fact i love the fact those people worked so hard the effect put into for such a loooong time for this amazing project
thank you so much for all the people who worked so hard on this projects & for those who left the James webb Project for their
own reasons as well thank you so much as well no matter your reasons are thank & thank you for who came before with Hubble
Space telescope & many different ways of going into studying it exploring it many different other ways as well going mars visiting
the edge of the solar system to beyond i'm glad we'er
as a species to enjoy this project no matter what thank you all for who loves to explore even the littlest of things we here & it's amazing
I watched NOVA's throughout my public education. I'm now 24. This is documentary took me back to when I was a kid bewildered by what we've discovered.
I'm 70, and have been watching NOVA since it first aired. It's been an amazing journey to see all of these episodes and, as you mentioned, all of the discoveries. Thanks for sharing.
I too find a bit of nostalgia in PBS and NOVA. Im 42. Glad to hear the younger generation is still watching
I actually cried with happiness when I watched the launch.
Ground breaking scientific tool.
Thanks to all.
Another NOVA Masterpiece of human Innovation and Perseverance. 🙌🏼🙏🏼🗽🇺🇲🦅🌌 Thank you PBS. 🙏🏼
We need a Webb Telescope Emoji now, hello...
Also the choice of words from those of you that worked with it got me to tear up I appreciate you working efforts keep kicking space ass
When I was a young boy I was so excited when NOVA play I cried because I knew I was going to learn something new.Now I am a grown man but Nova is still teaching.This may sound korny well.....Thanks NOVA for changing my life.

I have followed NASA since the Gemini program, and have been intrigued with every project. Alan Shephard, first American into space; John Glen, first orbit of the earth, the Apollo program which let to Neil Armstrong taking the first steps onto an alien planet; the space shuttle, the ISS, NASA's partnering with private aerospace enterprises, and now to the most recent gem, James Webb Telescope. I am fortunate enough to have witnessed so many advances in human endeavors. My next adventure will be to observe a live launch of the Artemis program and the activation of the leading edge Orion deep space capsule. Right now I give thanks to the Lord, NASA, and NOVA.
Amen
How can you pray to God and the deceiver? NASA is a master deceiver of nations

Propagandizing for NASA at taxpayer expense? Ummmm.....yeah, if you say so.
I can't properly express how these new images affect me, except that the tears start to well up. Well done NASA.
Gives me chills man. TO THE STARS! 💯💯💯💯💯🫡
Seeing the people who worked on the telescope so happy makes me really glad it worked.
The contrast between the Hubble and JWST images of the Carina nebula brought tears, unbidden, welling up, and overflowing my eyes. Billions stars being born. Our God is too small.
I've been following the JWST for 12 years, been excited for it for a very very long time. I couldn't help it, when it launched, I sat on my couch and just cried. What an amazing moment.
Oh really? You cried? How sweet. But the fact is, the only thing you'll ever see will simply be tiny bright lights and nothing more because everything is JUST TOO FAR AWAY.
Why don't you try crying over Genesis 1:1.

This whole project just...it brings me to the verge of tears. I just cannot comprehend how they were able to do it. It's one of the most incredible feats of human engineering, planning, technology, science and complexity in history. It's a "miracle" that it actually happened. Especially when the government has been so seeped with anti intellectualism, anti science and anti truth for the last 5+ years. There's so much hatred, pain and suffering in the world. So many terrible people, so much evil, greed, apathy and malice. We see it every day. It can be hard to hold onto hope for humanity sometimes. But the JWST not only being designed and built, but successfully launched in the face of so much adversity. With impossible odds. It is proof of how deeply marvelous humans can be. Everyone who was involved with achieving this are absolute heroes. I cannot wait to see what discoveries JWST brings to us in the coming years.
Well said, Josh.

It's amazing to see how small we truly are. In this vast Universe we live in.
But as this ( ua-cam.com/video/-6Npwza43NE/v-deo.html ) video shares life on Earth makes up 27% of time, (27% the total time the universe has so fair existed). That makes me think that maybe life on Earth is almost certainly not first but maybe extremely early compared to when others life forms will form
Or how big we are, compared to a neutrino!
The ending was the best part!
So proud and excited for humanity
Thank you so much for joining us, Nestor and Kenneth! And thank you all for watching! Hope you enjoyed :)
Absolutely amazing, a proud day to be a human being on this tiny planet in this unimaginably infinite universe.

Everything we thought we knew about the Universe just changed with JWST. PhD's doing lectures are going to be a bit awkward. Their comfort zone just got busted.
@@SJR_Media_Group Yes! Exactly, everything we thought we knew, we now have to rethink.
@@randibgood Thank you. A few months ago, I was reading an article on JWST. I must have misread something, I thought it said only IR on it. Turns out they have full color too. Spend 25 years building it, with 50 billion dollars, and only get IR.
I was also confused about mirror. I was thinking it was the actual sensor. Nope, just primary mirror coated in tiny layer of Gold. The actual sensors must be huge. Any data on actual sensors ?
@@SJR_Media_Group Just what was in this documentary. But 344 points of possible failure, would be enough for people that were not truly dedicated, to just say no!

Sorry… it was evolution that made this. Not intelligent beings. It happened by accident… but I still love the pictures

Genius fools have lots of knowledge and an inversely proportional degree in wisdom.
They did a great job!! I rather have delays to make sure everything is perfect than have problems. You have to understand just how complicated this thing is! And so far it is perfect!!!! I praise and have the highest respect for the people behind the scenes that researched and built this incredible machine!! You are the people who are the real heroes to me! Look what you created!! I hope you are so proud of yourselves!!!! We are going to find out things we probably wish we didn't know about. But some incredible things!

Such a comprehensive documentary on the building of the Webb and its amazing and beautiful results. Three cheers to all the teams that worked on this path-breaking project. Such vivid clarity. Now, we are in no doubt about these beautiful cosmic companions anymore.
They edit the color in. But all in all its really amazing! A lot of the things colored if they just let us see the original we wouldn't be able to see through a lot of it even though we wouldn't be able to see the original color for so much of each pic because it is out of our wave lengths
The saddest part about this is, once the pictures came in very few people gave a f*ck. not realizing how amazing it is to live in our time, to see these images no humans have ever seen before us. I'm glad there is at least a couple millions of us who care, and admire and dream of a space future.
I am so excited to get to witness such a accomplishment 🙌👏
It amazes me how huge and old the universe is, and I regret how little of it we will ever experience. When the light that we're observing left our *nearest* major galactic neighbor, Andromeda, we humans didn't even yet exist. We are only about 1/7500th through the starlight era of our universe. If there will ever be life elsewhere, it will likely emerge in the future. Statistically, we *are* among the first.

Failure was not an option… what a team you had excellent job… you all must be so proud
I watched this Nova Documentary before, but I love the fact that they updated the documentary showing the latest images from the telescope in July 2022 in the last 5 minutes of the documentary.
“It started with a lie” is the understatement of the century.
the entire project is a lie.
This is so well done. Incredible stuff as always NOVA and PBS!!!
There is nothing to be proud of. Failure after the failure due to poor engineering. Next time pay the Chinese, they are smart Engineers they do it with no mistakes and in a very short time. Look at the Chinese Engineers Young Smart, and the NASA failure after failure nothing done on time, nothing done right. Because the telescope is working now doesn't mean that was built good, screws fell off, it means it is a disaster.
Awe on display. This is the kind of project that inspires and gives hope in humanity. This effort cries out to the gods.
To see a bit more of the universe in all of its glory is very humbling. We are a little part of something truly magnificent.
"We can't go fix it!" So important. The Hubble was launched with a flaw in it's primary mirror. It was only fixed because the space shuttle could reach it and maintain it. James Webb had no such back up plan.
*Astrophysicist Dr. John Mather, the senior project scientist for the James Webb telescope, is my step father’s brother. He was adopted, but still fascinating. Dr. Mather is a very very very intelligent man.*
Wow, the relief the team felt after the telescope was fully deployed must’ve felt AMAZING!! I wish I could’ve been in that room, where everyone was at! 😆
I’m glad atleast some of humanity still has their eyes faced upward and outward.
Out of this world, COOL!!! Well done, team! Can you imagine a 25 year project where everything has to work flawlessly or the whole project is a bust, and cannot be fixed? The Cartwheel Galaxy image I saw today is SO awesome, and shows so much more detail than the Hubble captured.
It’s feats like this that give me some faith in humanity. I look forward to all the discoveries that lie ahead. Well done.

I remember seeing my first images of Hubble. Now this. Its humbling that we as a species could spend the rest of our existence exploring the universe and in the end we would barely be scratching the surface of what's out there.
Species?! Squh´eeeRRRRT! Pump yo' brakes a minute there big fella! Mr. BnB!.And contrary to what you've been taught in 🏫 and college. Humans never evolved or developed, in as much as animals have never either. It is infact impossible for that to have ever taken place. 2ndly). A human being is no more part animal, than an animal is part human. That's what evolutionists teach. But to a logical, and rational thinking minded individual. Creation is the only logic, and a creator who goes by the name of Jehovah, is the only rationale behind all our as human beings objective realities, and existence.
Please allow me to include, i'm very, very far from being religious!
*** crying *** I'm lost for words........ Everything about this is AMAZING!!!
It's just absolutely mind blowing we're seeing events from billions of years ago. I just can't explain how cool this whole thing is to me
THE BEST program on any color screen with moving pixels that would be NOVA.!!! THANK YOU.!!! PBS you're truly awesome.!!! I was literally in tears seeing those images the James Webb sent down to earth for the first time and was it really sure exactly why I was in tears it just feels like it brings us in touch with our universe in a way that even the most experienced Tibetan monk couldn't hold a candle to it's AMAZING.!!!
Awesome! What more can I say. We have an amazing backyard. I have to believe that the universe reflects intelligent design and not just random change, it is to perfectly aligned. Any more than a Rolex just magically came together and keeps perfect time.
Well spoken,
Back yard ? So the front yard is the sun , and your focus of worship ?
This is so freaking amazing! It makes me reflect on how humans are capably of things that were so unbelievable not many years ago. The only thing that keeps unchanged is also how horrible we can be to each other. I really hope as a race at almost point of extinction we get better.
Extinction? Maybe another point in evolution. All that will happen is the weak ( both physically and mentally) will be weeded out of the cycle of life while the strong and the traits they carry will sustain.
They ask are we alone. It doesn't take a telescope to answer that question. And I don't believe that our true living powerful creator would just show himself unless u are able to make accurate interpretation about who what and why. People can't handle this truth. Our creator always existed. It's no such thing as time. Only for us humans to be adaptive to it. It's no such thing as day and night until he created this place. It's a transforming process of it all. No such thing as time. That's how we have been programed to be adaptive to our living arrangements. Animals don't keep up with what time and day it is. They just exists! Because of God's transforming transcending invisible powers and creative imagination and true abilities we where finally unlocked. We was trapped as of nothing accept we was on an assembly line with trillions of our creator ideas 💡. Our creator reveals himself and that's when it's all role call. Our God is a spirit. With great powers and truly amazing like no other.
Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy but if they believe we're in the past dimension of big bang space-time they'll never bother to contact us. According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-). Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time .
The time traveling Voyager 1 space probe launched in 1977 is still communicating with Earth having left our solar system, even if it traveled another 14 billion years provided the circuitry held up it would still communicate back to Earth. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy. Just because the light and images from planet Mars are assumed to take 20 minutes to reach earth does not mean the Martians have traveled into another space-time dimension where the stars, planets and galaxies are in different locations from Earth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. To travel distance requires potential energy, an observer can have no effect on a moving objects kinetic energy-Relativity debunked. If there is no universal time in time dilation then there are no universal coordinates so time couldn't exist. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. When certain frequencies of light are shined onto metal electrons are ejected instantaneously without delay according to the photoelectric effect yet Einstein's disciples tell us the speed of light is limited to 186,000 miles per second. Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy.
Light travels in both directions, anyone having a conversation with their friends understands this simple phenomenon yet Einstein's disciples believe people on earth are time traveling backwards and forwards in space-time relative to one another. Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. The biggest threat to humanity is human stupidity. Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-).
The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips images from left to right, but according to Einstein the images you see are the result of projectile light particle photons being transported into past and future dimensions of space-time. Explain how particle light photons can re-converge their molecular structures in mirrors and how this is done without violating the law of conservation of energy.
From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in all directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel all directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-). Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions.
Einstein's projectile light particle proton has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime and because so wavelengths of light cannot stretch through spacetime! Red-shifts are simply the result of decelerating electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - longer wavelengths in red shift. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-).
The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Similar to a mirror light is a real-time wave reflector where light and images travel in straight lines-in all directions in space as they do on earth. The faintest stars and galaxies are neither in a past or future dimension of Einstein's space-time, they're in real-time.
Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light from our Milky Way galaxy.
Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel in both directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second :-)
There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end.
The Doppler effect is wrongly conflated with cosmological Redshift. As one approaches a blowing horn the perceived pitch is higher until the horn is reached, then becomes lower as the horn is passed. This phenomenon is caused by the physical movement of a mechanical soundwave traveling through the medium of air, similar to throwing a rock in a pond, the rock creates physical movement in the medium of water. Cosmological Redshifts are merely the GoPro fisheye effect where wavelengths appear to lengthen-stretch from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End"
If space was curved-warped according to Albert Einstein's curved-warped gravity theory gravity waves would effect time and the perfect balance in solar system orbital mechanics throwing planets off course-out of orbit in a collision course towards the sun where a planets gravity and time would increase and decrease with different velocity rates as they ascend and descend the curves of gravity waves. According to general relativity ie gravitational lensing (a warped field of vision in telescopes) is due to (mass) between a distant light source and the observer. If that were true earths huge mass would distort the light of the observer as well making telescopes unusable. So only other planets in the universe are affected by gravitational waves? In 1916 before it was known that man could travel in space Albert Einstein based his gravitational wave theory on relativity. In 2021 most of us realize if gravitational waves existed in space astronauts would be crushed like an underwater diver traveling to the bottom of the sea. Einstein's disciples defend relativity by saying gravity is a weak force, yeah so weak it affects planets and galaxies just not astronauts, the discovery space station or droplets of water in space?
According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-). Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time.

Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. If light has a limitation of speed how do Einstein's disciples explain time dilation and the increasingly faster rate of expansion of the theorized Big Bang?
Maxwell's equations state light has a constant speed of 299792458 m/s but if light slowed down its kinetic energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy. To govern, limit or decelerate kinetic energy takes more kinetic energy duh

@@michaelbariso3192 regardless of what all you have said. I still can't exclude the one true living powerful spirit that has his hands in creating everything from some source of energy that flows from his transcending transforming mental powers like no other. I can't explain where God came from. However I can give him an extra voice that testifies about who and what he did for me in my lifetime. People have trouble believing in one single individual. Once upon a time I never used to know any of what I know now that am saying. So of course something must have happened. What would our creator be without creating earth. Intelligent life that we are Trapped inside of until he decides to put us into what's sustainable for living survival arrangements. Our creator himself is proof of existence of intelligent life. Our creativity all came from his patent idea 💡. He downloaded information to certain individuals to think about something useful. We are working living cells operating like what's working and living inside of us
I wish we put as much money & time on exploring our oceans & forests. Still an amazing machine
We will
Totally Awsome what beautiful Galaxy out there and what beautiful pictures if it to these scientists men and women worked very hard to have us see these Awsome images. Thank you for your hard work on this new Telescope for the world to see 👍✌️
We get smaller and smaller as our eyes get bigger and bigger.....Bravo JWST Team....
Fantastic documentary from the epitome of documentaries. Enjoyed every second and cannot wait for more Webb imaging to cross my desk. 👍
Thanks. . Excellent team work. . I wish all humans could work like this together
Just incredible!! This is gonna change everything!!
I love the paradox of progression. In able to move forward we have to look into the past and at the same time we have to look forward.
Such a beautiful accomplishment
for the ages. I hope it can live for a 1000 years.
"It told us once again, we think we're smart. Haha we have no clue. " Great quote
Idk what’s the big problem , as a tax payer , 10 billion dollar through a 20 year spand is a drop in the bucket vs the Military 700 Billion dollar budget , and NASA probaly spent most of its funding on the Telescope which is actually going to give us answer and progress humanity, I’m so glad we have private companies stepping into the Space industry because a certain side of the US government is a Joke.
We need to stop worrying about China and focus in advancing our civilization and protecting our environment.
Of all the things we will learn from this amazing machine to me the one thing I look forward to most is the prove of life evolving some place other than planet earth.

Thanks for All hardworking to bring light to human beings!
Totally mind boggling; I can’t comprehend seeing something over ten billion years ago/distant?!?!…The overwhelming quality of this universe is mystery
Perfectly natural. When you look at your feet, they’re 5 billionths of a second ago.
😎
@Hidden Aspects Are “they” lying or are you just too smart to be fooled?
@Hidden Aspects the CMB proves the universe is close to 14 billions years old, so yeah I ACCEPT what they are telling me. I’m not a believer in anything.
There is an important name missing in this documentary. Gregory L. Robinson. I would suggest that viewers check out the July 8, 2022 edition of the Wall Street Journal, the Exchange section. Dr. Robinson was the NASA engineer and administrator who took the mess that the Webb telescope program had become and got the project back on track and completed. It could not have happened without him. It should not be that significant, but Gregory Robinson is African-American and grew up in poverty in the South. It's an extraordinary story and his absence from the narrative of this documentary is a disgrace to Nova and PBS and perhaps even NASA for not vetting this film. There was also a New York Times article and an interview with Dr. Robinson on NPR. So there is no excuse for this particular instance of neglect.
I don't have any other sources (yet) on what you say. but I have been into science, knowledge and human actions since I was a small child. My bet is that you are quite correct. Believe it or not, your ability to communicate properly in written English is my first huge clue. And I have tested this theory many times throughout my 68 years. I started with Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Ayn Rand (though I think less of Rand as a mentor now, more like a misguided but brilliant professor). Your perspective makes me wonder, is this anything like Nikola Teslas story, minus the mental illness? I hope PBS does a second video on this subject illuminating your part of the story. Maybe that will explain some of the first part...obsessing over every bolt, decades in the making etc.
I will definitely look for more information about this just to satisfy my own curiosity. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Every time I see one of these deep field shots and all the galaxy's out there I feel so humbled and impressed that what is out there. It's unimaginable and sooooo very cool the team could pull this off. Can't wait for more images cuz I'm hooked.🌌 👀
I saw one piece of data from NASA not long ago that just fucking wrecked my
mind!........It was concerning the number of stars in our "observable Universe"!
Try to wrap your head around this one: For every grain of sand on planet
Earth, there are 10,000 stars!
@@donaldjohnson257 It's really wierd and fascinating to think about what could be out there on those many, many planets.
CGI is so impressive and humbling.
The beauty and scale of the images made me cry.
That is incredible. Amazing what people can do! Those pictures make me speechless. I can't wrap my head around it.
it breaks my heart to see the people in Texas during hurricane Harvey. That storm was terrible. So many people lost their lives and pets and homes. I hope someday we can do more to help all the people here on earth too.
The cgi is sick no?

I Look forward to seeing more video of this Awesome Telescope! I wish I worked there. I love science so much!! Thank you PBS and NOVA!!
I know. When I was a kid I wanted to be a scientist among other things. I wish I would have pursued that more. Still, modern day technology has allowed my inner ‘scientists curiosity’ to stay well at hand thanks to PBS and NOVA. They sure have stood the test of time.
Amazing feat of engineering
Absolutely amazing that it went together perfectly.
Incredible! Peering in deep space at the size of a grain of sand blows my mind. Thank you NASA and PBS collaborators!
It is incredible. So is curing cancer.
@@randyzeitman1354 Well if you want to go on that thread and tangent, I'd say we need to not have as many children, have better diets, vote for better leaders, and conserve our water and habitats so yeah, there are many wonderful problems to solve that you allude. What have you done (other than make comments like this) to help the world?
I am pretty sure that they are looking at things that are slightly larger than that. Lol.

To me at least.

Which god?
Great documentary! Excited to see the images from all of your hard work. Cheers!

It feels so good to see so many countries working together to achieve a common goal.
Common goal of deception and slavery sure
@Hidden Aspects You pool sole, I would like unity among nations and you would prefer division. No wonder we have the turmoil in our world today with people like you. I pity and pray for you.
