The first generation of stars changed the course of
cosmic history. Now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we have a real
chance of spotting them.
When were the first stars created? According to the true history the universe, they were created when the sun, the Earth and everything was formed.
But the Big Bang story
has a different view, it states that “between 200 and 400 million years after
the big bang, the energy pouring from them ripped apart the atoms of gas that
had been cooling the universe, reheating them in a process called re-ionisation
Then, as they burned and died, they created a cocktail of chemical elements. they
say that it took that primed the universe to generate galaxes, planets and,
ultimately, life itself”.
Astronomers have
speculated that .the first stars were “huge and ferociously bright, they are
thought to have been up to 300 ties as massive as our sun and 10 times hotter”.
This seems to be a
miracle and it might also be a false alarm.
