      @@PopeGoliath I like to think of the newborn wonders that will *never* reveal themselves to us because of our distance. the cosmic point of no return... where our galaxy is in a universe expanding faster than the speed of light, the light of distant galaxies will never reach earth.. and we will never be able to observe it.

      Turns out there’s a possibility that the speed of light is not what we think it is, and that we’re see the stars and galaxies exactly as they are right now. Veritasium has a great video explaining the 2-way speed of light

    I'm always fascinated by the conditions on other planets, and how we know about them because of the spectra from the starlight shone through the atmosphere, and how that only happens because of the quantum nature of light and electrons leading to discrete energy levels.

      It's the paradox that almost every online presentation shys away from. JWT deep field images are seeing fully formed spiral galaxies with billion year-old 2nd generation stars a mere 180 million light years from...what Big Bang? Based on our present knowledge of the forces of nature, in what possible scenario can these galaxies and stars be created in so short a time?

Inductively, we know science paradigms change through history. Perhaps it is exciting that the astronomy paradigms are so on the edge of change right now.

      We almost certainly are not alone. There is other life out there. At least simple life is a completely guaranteed fact. There are like six places in just our solar system that mostly likely have or did have life other then earth. And while other intelligent life isn't as guaranteed, it is damn close. Now, that obviously doesn't mean it's been here, it hasn't. But it is out there. Just looking at our galaxy it is basically impossible there isn't intelligent life other then us. Then take the other few hundred billion galaxies and it is out there.

    Heres a thought to ponder, if we find exo-planets that are essentially a early version of Earth at over say 1 billion light years - 3 billion light years away, we'll never get there but would it not be a good assumption that they may have life now at this present time we just can't see it yet.
