Understanding neural system response to rapidly changing ecosystems is vital for the ability to predict what may transpire with these changes and how neural systems may adapt or fail to adapt to them.

Key Points: 
  • Understanding neural system response to rapidly changing ecosystems is vital for the ability to predict what may transpire with these changes and how neural systems may adapt or fail to adapt to them.

    Researchers are pointing to opportunities to explore how environmental changes impact human and animal nervous systems, an area in which little is known.
  • “What we do in the lab is not sufficient to understand how the nervous system actually functions.
  • The Allen Institute also just launched a call for proposals to study the nervous system in rapidly changing environments.

Early universe observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cannot be explained by current cosmological models.

Key Points: 
  • Early universe observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cannot be explained by current cosmological models.
  • These models estimate the universe to be 13.8 billion years in age, based on the big-bang expanding universe concept.

Frequency and distance

    • The redshift of light is similar to the Doppler effect on sound: noises appear to have higher frequency (pitch) when approaching, and lower when receding.
    • Redshift, a lower light frequency, indicates when an object is receding from us; the larger the galaxy distance, the higher the recessional speed and redshift.
    • An alternative explanation for the redshift was due to the Doppler effect: distant galaxies are receding from us at speeds proportional to their distance, indicating that the universe is expanding.

Limitations of previous models

    • Research published last year proposed to resolve the impossible early galaxy problem using the tired light model.
    • However, tired light cannot satisfactorily explain other cosmological observations like supernovae redshifts and uniformity of the cosmic microwave background.
    • As with any model, it will need to provide a satisfactory explanation for all those observations that are satisfied by the standard cosmological model.

Mixing models

    • The approach of mixing two models to explain new observations is not new.
    • Albert Einstein resurrected the particle-like nature of light to explain the photoelectric effect — that light has dual characteristics: particle-like in some observations and wave-like in others.
    • Einstein believed that the universe is the same observed from any point at any time — homogeneous, isotropic and timeless.

New information

    • To defend the standard big-bang model, astronomers have tried to resolve the problem by compressing the timeline for forming massive stars and primordial black holes accreting mass at unphysically high rates.
    • However, a consensus is developing towards new physics to explain these JWST observations.
