"It's a Different Universe" — James Webb Found Something That Doesn't Add Up

The James Webb Space Telescope was built to confirm what we already knew about the universe. Instead, it found something that doesn't fit. Galaxies too massive for their age. Ancient spirals that formed before they should have been possible. Black holes that grew faster than physics allows. An expansion rate that gives two different answers depending on how you measure it. And a cosmos that keeps refusing to behave the way our best models predict.
