How did the earliest galaxies form, and what implications does that have for fundamental laws of physics? Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and a panel of leading scientists and experts for a spirited conversation around the profound impact NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is having on our understanding of the universe since it began transmitting images and astronomical data in 2022.
#JWST #EarlyUniverse #BigBang #Astrophysics
This year’s panelists include Mike Boylan-Kolchin of University of Texas at Austin, Wendy Freedman of the University of Chicago, Priya Natarajan of Yale University, Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute, and John Wise of Georgia Institute of Technology. Delving into the cosmic mysteries unraveled by the JWST, the discussion will explore the telescope’s recent revelations, including bright and enigmatic galaxies that emerge in the extremely early universe-challenging conventional cosmological understandings of how galaxies formed.
The late Dr. Isaac Asimov, one of the most prolific and influential authors of our time, was a dear friend and supporter of the American Museum of Natural History. In his memory, the Hayden Planetarium is honored to host the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate-generously endowed by relatives, friends, and admirers of Isaac Asimov and his work-bringing the finest minds in the world to the Museum each year to debate pressing questions on the frontier of scientific discovery. Proceeds from ticket sales of the Isaac Asimov Memorial Debates benefit the scientific and educational programs of the Hayden Planetarium.

I have found it very hard to listen to NDT ever since he threw science under the bus and started to push the idea there are more than 2 genders. The man betrayed reality, logic and reason to keep his job and will be remember as such. He has given in to the modern bonfire of the vanities and the 100,000 social media Savonarola's causing it daily.

@jaimepoliveira8616 Ай бұрын

I think the Big Bang, which remains a theory, never happened. What we call the universe has always existed and that's the only thing we can say is eternal and Infinite. Galaxies are destroyed from time to time and are reborn again, just as Andromeda and our Milky Way will one day emerge. Two galaxies will destroy each other and a new one will emerge. What we probably see as expansion do to our limites is perhaps like currents in a huge ocean moving in different directions.

Neil’s super power is the ability to hold the entire scope of the esoteric conversation conducted by five other experts in his mind so that ideas are flowing in a clear direction. All this while ensuring that non experts in the audience can follow, and digest, the conversation. What a hero Neil DeGrasse Tyson is!

@abstract5249 Ай бұрын

I've been saying this for years, ESPECIALLY about the Isaac Asimov Memorial Debates. A lot of people think that just because Neil hasn't published in years, that he's "just" a science popularizer and not much more knowledgeable than your typical science enthusiast in college or high school. Little do they consider that perhaps they think this way precisely because Neil breaks things down so well, he gives the illusion that those things are easy to begin with. Neil is TOO good at what he does. But it's events like these that showcase just how intelligent he is. Not only does he hold his own in a panel with five other experts, but he's able to "translate" their discussion into a language that the audience better understands. He can pinpoint exactly what things might get lost in translation, pause the conversation, and clarify them or elaborate. This is the same guy who refused to do an interview with the press when word came out that gravitational waves had been detected, instead referring the media to the actual scientists who made that discovery. Later, during their presentation, those scientists thanked Neil for not talking about it. So many people take him for granted, but Neil's level of awareness and ability to break things down are amazing. It's no wonder he's one of the most popular science communicators of our time.

@3xxiled Ай бұрын

You're led to believe it's a super power because he positions himself so well as a science educator and a sort of 'ambassador' to the audience that it makes you feel he's asking these questions from a non-understanding point of view. You can forget that he's a Harvard trained astrophysicist. I certainly praise Neil in this conversation, it was impressive. But he did interrupt a lot -- though in a comedic way usually.

@abstract5249 Ай бұрын

@@3xxiled Has a teacher ever said to you, "if you have any questions, please ask. Chances are, other students have the same question." I feel like Neil is doing that here, answering a question a student might ask. You might be more knowledgeable or intelligent, so these interruptions could be excessive to you, but there might be others in the audience who could use these pauses. I count myself among them. It reminds me of John Carpenter, the first constestant to win "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." Rewatching his session, one might be surprised to find his questions rather easy. I attribute this to the internet age and our growing collective knowledge with time (he won that game 25 years ago). But as easy as they were, how many of us today can answer every single one of those question correctly, without using any lifelines, as he did? I think most of us would see at least one question there we couldn't answer, one subject we don't know. And yet, John Carpenter was able to answer all of them, without help and without a moment's hesitation. 25 years ago. Before the internet as we know it. I bring that up as an example of how, no matter how knowledgeable we are, chances are, there's something we don't know. Most of us aren't John Carpenter, so we need an explanation on at least some of the questions he was given.

This was one of the most relaxed, informative, and fun to watch panel discussion I have seen in a long time. Neil asked all the right questions and the panel provided lucid, to the point, knowledge driven answers. The subject matter was the biggest question science is working diligently on answering. What, why, when, and how.

@Wasatch_Sasquatch Ай бұрын

Are you sure Neil was smart enough to have asked the right questions and are you sure you are smart enough to ask the right questions about who has the right questions!? Haha Well, Neil managed to do it again. He literally danced around these entangled subjects again in his usual self-appreciating witful manner and arrived at no solid answers. Brian Greene or Michio Kaku may have been more efficient in moderating IMO but, I’m only smart enough to know that we have reached an almost impenetrable barrier being that how can we figuratively speaking, ever understand the universe’s; what came first the chicken or the egg, when all we have to go on is what light from 13.7 billion years ago is able to transmit to earth and tell us. Even in quantum mechanics and the limits there to understanding and testing string theory, we have reached perhaps the same insurmountable limitations. At least as long as there is funding for researchers I don’t think those jobs will disappear anytime soon. I think what is needed is a fictional movie in the vein of like the Matrix to interject another red pilled fictional storyline about Cosmology and propose some new ways to think and new storyline contexts to visualize the themes of these theories, kind of like the Matrix or the Terminator or Orwell’s 1984 did for their genres. Then we might get more heads involved in solving these riddles bc we all know that two (or many) heads are better than a few. YOLO da’ challenges!

@tonymarshharveytron1970 Ай бұрын

Hello Neil and team. Further to my previous comment, I would very much like to offer the following to the whole team. According to my hypothesis, which can unify the various fields of physics, explain Dark Matter: Dark Energy: Anitmatter, and two forces of gravity. Also, an alternatie explanation for the CMBR: Redshift: The atom: and a nonexpanding universe without any Big Bang or Cosmic Inflation, the following may be of interest. The biggest question that needs to be asked in Cosmology is, Why is it that we can only see back to the CMBR at the same distance in every direction? This presents two problems. Firstly, in a universe that is said to have a begining in a Big Bang and Cosmic inflation within a billionth of a billionth of a second, dissipating the heat, radiation, and Matter throughout the universe, this would imply that there is a limit to how far this matter has spread. If our Earth is situated anywhere other than the middle of this mass, we should see the CMBR at different distances in every direction. And Yes I have studied the ; Relativistic cosmological model, and what I say still stands. And secondly, since the JWST is proving that there are fully mature galaxies so far back in time that they would have to have existed before the so-called Big Bang, It rules out that the CMBR is not what it is believed to be. Since the only thing that supports the Big Bang is the CMBR, the only evidence for an expanding universe is Redshift and the only way that the Big Bang can be rationalized in a thermally equal universe is by the idea of Cosmic Inflation, which is a physical impossibility, Physicists are going round in circles trying to support the status quo. I would propose that the standard model is flawed at the level of the atom. There was no Big Bang and Cosmic iInflation. The universe is not expanding, has always existed much as it is today and extends to infinity, therefore it has no begining and probably will never end. There are two forces of Gravity, which I have a simple experiment that can prove this, and also proves the existence of Dark Energy / Dark matter. Dark Matter is an incredibly small Negatively charged Monopole particle in a cloud that fills every available empty space throughout the universe. Dark Energy, is the negative force of repulsion produced by the Dark Matter Particles trying to repel each other in every direction. It is also one of the two forces of gravity. The CMBR is not due to the Big Bang, but is a point where electromagnetic radiation reaches saturation. Redshift is not due to the expansion of the universe, but is due to electromagnetic radiation losing speed and energy over billions of years, If you consider over a period of around 14 Billion years, it would only have to lose 1 mile per second every 140,000 years to account for the redshift we see. This and much more is explained in my Hypothesis, ( The Two Monopole Particle Universe ), details of which can be found by typing Tony Norman Marsh into Google If you or any of your pannel are interested and can provide me with an email address, I am happy to send you a copy. Kind regards, Tony Marsh

They kept ducking the questions. It was hard for them to just say “we were wrong.” Look at bit about the dark ages and notice how many times that question is outright ducked. “Your model says there shouldn’t be any light in dark ages. JWST is seeing galaxies in this period. What does that say about your models?” The easy answer was “they’re wrong somewhere.” And then explain. They all tried to explain first and then admit they were wrong and Neil wasn’t letting them. He was also trying to keep the conversation streamlined and connect all the fields together to paint a clear picture for us the viewers. Given the complexity of the topics, that’s not an easy task. Imagine him letting them go off on these rants and then trying to keep the topic alive. We would all be fairly lost after the first guest.

But wait at 1:00:17 Wendy says there are 3 giant new telescopes in the making, but only named one (the Giant Magellan Telescope.) What are the other 2? Unless one of the others would be the Vera Rubin. Also I think anyone that fancies following science has read that article. So were there things older than 13.7 billion years discovered beyond the big bang? Is this the case, or not?

Interesting panel. It always surprises me that such wise scientists do not take into account possible alternative events based on the reality around us. One of those events is that bodies with mass tend to rotate on themselves and around others. Why not study the possibility that the universe is rotating as I mentioned previously. This would give us an older age of the universe depending on the angular velocity of the rotation. Light is curved in space-time, the curves are longer. If one looks at other possibilities perhaps one would look for a Doppler effect at the current frequency known as “Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation”. As I have mentioned before, if the universe rotates then there could be a massive black hole in its center. Furthermore this would give us an enormous amount of “dark” mass and “dark” rotation energy.

Could it be that the missing element in the analysisof what occurred occurred in the very early period is whatever means that was ‘applied’ in order to remove that element from the highly complex processes that occurred in that early period. As I understand it the removal of that now missing element would result in considerable energy being released.

i have a question. if one person observed the universe edge at 13.7b years, and another person observed the opposite edge at 13.8b, and a third person discovers stars older than the universe because of expansion (which may counter the 0.1b year gap), does that put our planet around the middle of the universe? if both opposite edges are practically the same distance?

Neil deGrasse Tyson is like the Carl Sagan of the 21st century. These topics are so hard to grasp, and yet he makes it at least somewhat comprehensible to the masses.

@atomipi 16 күн бұрын

everyone is wrong.. what relative reference are they measuring the age from? stationary to what? slow galactic earth time? slower black hole time? or travelling at lightspeed? or universe expansion time? or space time furthest from any mass. The age is infinite, or instant -- relatively speaking!

If you take all the ways we’re moving rotating, through the galaxy and through space, how does that affect the way we experience time?

Is it impossible for one person to know everything at one moment in time as change is constant so everything is unknowable, knowledge reaches paradox.✌️❤️🇬🇧

When you talk about 'degenerate' parameters? does that basically mean when you get the same result from unrelated/alternate parameters? Is that considered 'bad' for the developing theory? So the implication our model is (could be) flawed but seems correct as it gives the correct answer (as in observation) But if we can get a really accurate correlated model, if it uses 'degenerate' parameters and methods but gives the correct results then surely it could at least posit the 'correct' theory? at least it seems to me that as long as you are aware your model is an 'emulation' instead of a 'simulation' then surely it becomes an invaluable tool to search for the 'simulation' level theory. [edit] Also great discussion really fascinating, thanks x

These well organized event brought some value information to me, thanks AM! Very simpatic and smart persons, Mr. Neil deGrasse Tyson & friends... 👍 Sometimes I may disagree with some of the classic theories and concepts about the origins of the universe, but that does not detract from the success of this colloquium!

@scottdavidson6419 Ай бұрын

Neil. I listen with the discussions about JWST explore back in time to the moment this Universe began. Okay, great. Wonderful... But I guess I have to die before I get the knowledge I seek .. What existed before our universe. Show how, I know that the time before our time began, did and does exist... That is the knowledge that I really want. Maybe, it is in that pre-time ... that the little(big) green men exist. The time for time. Please take a stab at this general question. Thanks .. Scott Davidson

Could time have behaved differently in the early development of the universe. If so, how can we calculate its age?

@setitfree78 Ай бұрын

Time is something we perceive. It's possible the universe is older than we can comprehend.

The point of this type of format is to keep the conversation interesting for people that DON'T know that they're interested in science.

@mantroid Ай бұрын

I disagree, I think he does a good job of keeping the conversation on point and clarifying what the panelists are trying to convey, often adding great follow-up questions.

@1amybean Ай бұрын

I agree-I admire and enjoy NDT so so much-but he prefaced the event by saying this would be like overhearing a discussion among scientists outside a meeting…and it wasn’t like that at all. I wish I could have heard these brilliant people-including NDT-in a give-and-take, organized but organic conversational exchange with one another. Not NDT one-on-one between each person separately and directing the entire flow. This is very hard for me to listen to, but I’m going to try to finish because I know the content will be of great interest and value and I’m grateful for it.

So the problem is that materia we now not build black holes that. Can it be that initially there was materia that is “good” for it? And all it collapsed so we can’t find it anymore?
