New Sharpened Images From Hubble Telescope Contradict Post-Big Bang Theories (nasa.gov)

An anonymous reader quotes NASA: By applying a new computational analysis to a galaxy magnified by a gravitational lens, astronomers have obtained images 10 times sharper than what Hubble could achieve on its own. The results show an edge-on disk galaxy studded with brilliant patches of newly formed stars... The galaxy in question is so far away that we see it as it appeared 11 billion years ago, only 2.7 billion years after the big bang... The resulting reconstructed image revealed two dozen clumps of newborn stars, each spanning about 200 to 300 light-years. This contradicted theories suggesting that star-forming regions in the distant, early universe were much larger, 3,000 light-years or more in size. "There are star-forming knots as far down in size as we can see," said doctoral student Traci Johnson of the University of Michigan, lead author of two of the three papers describing the research.

    since one of the "Four Forces" (magnetism) is self-organizing; Here what is more likely to my way of thinking:

    Magnetism increased in gauss until poles began to form; with north and south pokes come lines of force, and from these, eddy currents form. These eddy currents are energy. This caused the poles to begin to rotate. Since a stationary magnetic field is not moving (by definition) there was no mass or energy, ergo no universe yet. But a rotating magnetic field is moving, so it can create a universe.

    The math seems to confirm this: the increasing size of the universe might resemble a tangent curve (as opposed to a sine curve expected in the mid-20th century) or a straight line expected before that; a tangent curve is simply a sine wave as viewed from outside the system. The asymptote(s) appear to be a Big Bang because of this.

    We (humans) are simply viewing the universe as a virtual system from outside it. This does away with not only pi but also "dark matter/energy".

    I know many will not agree; I ask you to think about it in the light of newer discoveries which defy the accepted Standard Model, and to appreciate how this explains other oddities, too.
