Maisie's Galaxy emerged about 390 million years after the Big Bang, in the context of a universe roughly 13.77 billion years old.

      I hope I understand correctly but do you mean a map of specific objects or phenomena that different research groups are looking at?

      That would be hell of a lot of work but it wouldn’t only be pretty, it would help the research to make sure they don’t miss anything. Because you know, there’s kind of a lot of shit out there.

    👨‍🚀 Wait, it’s black holes all the way back?

    🔫👨‍🚀

    Some point to Dark Matter (heh) but I’m a RMOND kind of guy, so I’m team Black Holes.

        Galaxies are too advanced for their supposed age, given our current galaxy formation predictions. Some scientists believe Dark Matter played an early role but there’s a few theories about early black holes and as I don’t believe Dark Matter exists, I also believe black holes (+asymmetrical big bang + antimatter interactions + strong electromagnetic fields) were the seeds for early galaxy formations.

    What if an intelligent species was born, thrived, and perished in that galaxy? What if thousands had?

    Humanity will one day be gone - will anyone out there even know we existed? Shouldn’t this awareness of our insignificance be unbearable? Shouldn’t I be sleeping right now?
