Greetings-
I came upon this article on CNN:
CNN.com - Galaxy find stirs Big Bang debate - Jan. 8, 2004
In essence it brings to question the Big Bang Theory by comparing the approximate timing of the Big Bang (~13.7 bya) to the approximate age and size of these newly discovered galaxies. I'd be interested in seeing the actual article itself.
It's also interesting to note that although it was partially funded by NASA, they couldn't use a telescope in the US because American astronomers thought it would be technically impossible. Is this because of position on earth, or did they actually believe it was impossible no matter where they were, and the Aussies defied their expectations?
Thoughts?
