5 Incredible Things We've Already Discovered thanks to the James Webb Telescope

I'm one of the thousands that spent years designing and building this amazing telescope. Even we are amazed at what our work has produced!

I don't think even James webb telescope can figure out how many channels this man has 😂

As someone who spent more than 10 years of my life putting JWST together and making sure it worked right, it’s nice to see it highlighted in your work. Thanks.

A tip for the sound engineer. Relax with the compressor, i can hear all the inhales the dude is taking and it is really distracting. Otherwise, if you really need to push the compressor that hard. Just edit the inhales down so they are not that loud.

All i can hear is him taking breaths between words and i cant unhear it now.

Tools like the JWST help science prove that there are always more questions to ask about the universe than answers to give. So cool. Cheers....

The language of science is precise. Thank you for being one of the few podcasts that use exact and correct language to describe science to us half-learned

Once you notice Simon's sharp intake of breath you keep hearing it. Trust me.

im 51 years old i wanna see some aliens man

This just hurts the brain, to think about just how little we know about the existence of, well, existence.

I know there was some controversy about webb due to its ten billion price tag as some scientists thought the money could have been better spent on a variety of smaller but useful projects. Also there were issues with the lengthy time it took to design and build it and fears of a launch disaster that could end it all but looks it was one big gamble with results better than anyone dreamed of.⚛😀😀

Whatever this telescope cost, it was a bargain.

It seems that we are learning enough to know that we don’t know anything yet. We are still young and relatively new at this whole space study venture

Clarke’s First Law: “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”

Who needs sci-fi when reality serves up discoveries like these? James Webb Telescope, you're a star!

I was on pins and needles watching this telescope launch, set up and start sending its first images. I wanted this to be a success so much even though i had nothing to do with building or designing it. I love science and i wanted so much to have everyone's hard work pay off and they all deserved the success they all earned. From my heart to yours, thank you, you are a rockstar and we cant wait to hear what you discover. ❤

A disturbingly large amount of people in the comments don’t seem to understand that all statements made about the theories of the universe include the caveat - “Given the information we had at the time.” as if theories aren’t meant to be tested and broken when new information comes in to play, and that such things are celebrated rather than scorned.

This video makes me think that the big bang theory may need revision in the future.

I consider myself a smart woman, I have a masters in education and have almost a whole 4 year health degree under my belt.... I don't know why I watch these videos - I understand about half the words, and even fewer concepts. I never feel more stupid than when trying to get a grasp on physics. The people who do get it, and the ones who are advancing it? Mind blowing!! Keep it up!! ❤

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up, but your audio seems to have an issue. It sounds like you have exposed hard walls around you, accross each other. There appears to be a short hard echo that dies out slowly (like ~0.5 seconds). They are more prominant on certain frequencies, around the frequency of your speach. It seems the sound can bounse multiple times and still be picked up by the microphone. It reduces the clarity of your voice and gets iritanting in the long run. You may know all of this already, but you may add acoustic panels or heavy cloth on the walls at the points of primary reflection. I don't see your microphone, but you may consider bringing it closer to you, increasing signal to echo ratio. If you have already treated your walls, it's possible the echo comes from your floor and roof. Your production quality for video is so high, it would be a shame, if your sound were to lagg behind. Anyways. Thank you for your videos. They are generally very well made.
