Dr. Becky | No, JWST hasn’t shown the Big Bang “didn’t happen” 🤦🏻♀️ #shorts @DrBecky | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
There's a pseudo-science article that's gone viral recently claiming that JWST images are showing the Big Bang "didn't happen" (I mean, I'm already mad because they used the phrase "Big Bang" as if it meant a moment of creation rather than the correct definition of the evolution of the entire Universe, nevermind the codswollop claims they make throughout it). More on this in Thursday's Night Sky News video about what JWST data is actually showing and what it means.

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
