"William G. Tifft in 1973: “quantized redshifts.”.jpg)
Tifft claimed to have detected
--a periodicity to redshift values,
--rather than a continuum.
*The big bang predicted a continuum of redshifts due to the expansion of the universe.
JWST kept finding big, bright galaxies too early for comfort.
The bright galaxies that JWST saw would be like seeing

JWST kept finding big, bright galaxies too early for comfort.
The bright galaxies that JWST saw would be like seeing
---a clustering of lights around big cities,
whereas theory predicts something like
---the light around more rural settings like Yellowstone National Park.
For physicists, the observations imply that
---there is either something fundamentally wrong with the physics underlying the models
---or a missing ingredient in the early universe that scientists have not accounted for.
The MIT team explored the possibility of the latter, and whether the missing ingredient might be early dark energy.
Q: So what is early dark energy but a fudge factor?
A: It’s “a sort of antigravitational force that is turned on only at very early times.” Sounds like the Guth Goof, concocting inflation out of whole cloth to solve one problem by creating others.
