Astronomers discover unusual monster galaxy in the very early universe

"In this epoch, very few galaxies have stopped forming stars, and none are as massive as XMM-2599," said Gillian Wilson, a professor of physics and astronomy at UCR in whose lab Forrest works. "The mere existence of ultramassive galaxies like XMM-2599 proves quite a challenge to numerical models. Even though such massive galaxies are incredibly rare at this epoch, the models do predict them. The predicted galaxies, however, are expected to be actively forming stars. What makes XMM-2599 so interesting, unusual, and surprising is that it is no longer forming stars, perhaps because it stopped getting fuel or its black hole began to turn on. Our results call for changes in how models turn off star formation in early galaxies."

So essentially, galaxies in the distant universe are already "ultramassive", and they are far too "mature" in the sense that they aren't forming stars anymore, in defiance of BB models. There's almost *nothing* about the so called 'early' universe that actually jives with BB models. I suspect that the James Webb telescope will drive the last few nails in the big bang model. I'm sure it's going to show "massive and mature" galaxies for as far as it can see too, just like all of our other telescopes.

I think it's quite telling and rather amusing that the BB model fails virtually every single new high redshift observation. It's actual "predictive value" is less than zero. Almost all of the core elements of the BB model were never "predictions" to begin with, they were "postdictions" which were based on previous observations. The actual "predictive" value of the big bang model is horrible. Every new high reshift observation defies the model entirely, including this one. Galaxies at the highest redshifts look and act just like our galaxy and the galaxies in our local galaxy cluster. They are "mature". They are 'massive'. They have all the same basic features as galaxies in our local region of space. The whole concept of galaxy evolution over time has been blown out of the water more times than I can count. The rationalizations as to why the BB model fails high redshift observations is getting ever more desperate and ever more bizarre over time. The BB model will not survive the James Webb data set.
