AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a study of galaxy evolution within μ¨ based cosmologies, revealing that recent JWST observations align with this model at high redshifts, while showing divergence at low redshifts. The authors propose that the universe was initially influenced by a Primordial Bovine Herd (PBH), which subsequently decayed to produce dark energy, although the decay mechanisms remain unspecified. This model attempts to reconcile the contrasting observations from different cosmic epochs. The conversation also includes light-hearted references to other humorous papers and a playful tone regarding the nature of dark matter and energy. Ultimately, the study contributes to the ongoing exploration of galaxy evolution theories in astrophysics.

We present the first study of galaxy evolution in μ¨ based cosmologies. We find that recent JWST observations of massive galaxies at extremely high redshifts are consistent with such a cosmology. However, the low redshift Universe is entirely divergent from the μ¨ cosmic star formation rate density. We thus propose that our Universe was at one point dominated by a Primordial Bovine Herd (PBH) which later decayed producing dark energy. Note that we do not detail the mechanisms by which this decay process takes place. Despite its vanishingly small probability for existence, a μ¨ based cosmological model marries the disparate findings in the high and low redshift Universe.

N.B. μ¨ would be pronounced approximately as "moo". The PBH acronym is a reference to "Primordial Black Holes" which have the same acronym.

...and I hope no one would be so rude as to suggest that the immense volume of dark matter/energy spontaneously created on the arxiv every day has its origins in a primordial bovine herd. :oldruck:

And a steaming pile of dark(ish) matter?
