Click For Summary
The discovery of a galaxy older than 13.8 billion years would challenge current cosmological models and our understanding of the universe's formation. Such a finding would necessitate a reevaluation of the Big Bang theory and the timeline of cosmic evolution. Researchers would likely publish their findings in a peer-reviewed journal, prompting further discussions in the scientific community. The implications could lead to new theories or modifications of existing ones in cosmology. Until such evidence is presented, the topic remains speculative.

TL;DR
What would happen if they found a galaxy that was older than 13.8 billion years old?
What would happen if they found a galaxy that dated to older than 13.8 billion years old? How would this affect cosmology?
 
Space news on Phys.org
What would happen if we found out that voodoo really worked? How would that affect physics?

"They" would write a paper about it, and get the paper published in a peer-reviewed journal. At that point you would start a new thread with a link to that paper to start a discussion about it. I'll wait...
