JWST Supports the Big Bang Theory.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has not disproved the big bang, as some had argued. Initial data from JWST seemed to contradict the prediction that early galaxies should be small and irregular, building up through collisions to the larger galaxies we see today. However, a recent study using high-resolution simulations called Renaissance found strong agreement between the JWST observations and the LCDM big bang model. As JWST continues to gather data, more detailed simulations will be needed to test observations.
