NASA NASA scientists discover the beginning of time. (Their description)

AI Thread Summary
NASA's claim of discovering the "beginning of time" through Hubble Space Telescope images raises questions about the interpretation of light and time. The discussion highlights the paradox of whether galaxies visible in the images existed before time began, and critiques the clarity of NASA's communication regarding their findings. Participants debate the nature of light, its lifespan, and the concept of "looking back in time," emphasizing that light from distant galaxies is indeed a snapshot of the past. The conversation also touches on the scientific rigor of NASA's claims and the potential for misunderstanding among the public. Ultimately, the dialogue reflects a mix of skepticism and curiosity about cosmological discoveries and their implications.

This topic is hanging on by a thread. Heated debate is acceptable but I have no more patience for cheap personal insults and dirty jokes here.
