Please explain to me how the findings of James Webb Telescope in 2024 made Roger Penrose say that it was a different universe? (ChatGPT, 2025-5-8)
Sir Roger Penrose’s remark that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveals “a different universe” reflects his interpretation of JWST’s observations as challenging the conventional Big Bang model. Specifically, Penrose suggests that these findings align with his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) theory, which posits that the universe undergoes infinite cycles, each beginning with a Big Bang-like event but not originating from a singular beginning.
JWST has observed massive, mature galaxies existing just 500 million years after the Big Bang—structures that, according to standard cosmology, shouldn’t have formed so early. This discrepancy has led Penrose to assert that “the Big Bang was not the beginning,” implying that these early galaxies could be remnants from a previous cosmic cycle, as proposed in his CCC model.
Additionally, JWST’s confirmation of the universe expanding at a rate faster than previously expected—known as the “Hubble Tension”—further supports the notion that our current understanding of cosmology may be incomplete. Penrose interprets these anomalies as evidence that the universe’s history is more complex than a single, linear expansion from a singular origin.
In summary, Penrose views JWST’s discoveries as indicative of a universe that doesn’t conform to the traditional Big Bang narrative but instead supports a cyclical model of cosmic evolution, where each “Big Bang” is a transition from a previous aeon rather than an absolute beginning.
