When the JWST captured the first images of the earliest galaxies in
our universe, scientists were shocked.  The galaxies appeared
to be way too bright, way too big, and way too mature to have
formed so soon after the Big Bang. This discovery has, rightfully
so, sparked a massive debate among astrophysicists. Some even
started to question the standard model of cosmology.  However,
using new simulations, some astrophysicists decided to investigate
this controversy. Among these extraordinarily talented and bright
minds is today’s guest, Chris Hayward, founding member of the FIRE
project.  Tune in to discover the truth about the mysterious
brightness at cosmic dawn! Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:02
What is a FIRE simulation? 00:03:11 The mysterious brightness at
cosmic dawn 00:12:36 How FIRE provides information on the maturity
of a galaxy 00:16:18 Galaxy dynamics and black holes 00:18:50 How
FIRE simulations can help resolve tensions in cosmology 00:27:32 “I
was made for science.”  00:34:09 The experimental
minimum  00:39:54 What if the universe is actually 26 billion
years old?  00:43:35 What's next for this type of research?
