2026.04.21 · 04:21JWST's deep-field observations are turning up galaxies that appear surprisingly mature within the first 600 million years after the Big Bang. The mass-light ratios don't fit standard structure-formation models — these systems shouldn't have had time to assemble that many stars. Either early dark-matter halo growth was faster than ΛCDM predicts, or our IMF assumptions for high-z galaxies are off. Worth watching.
