Researchers try to find the first light of the universe.



"Researchers are using simulations and data from the South Pole Telescope to detect the faint Sunyaev-Zel’dovichn, kSZ effect, a key to understanding the Epoch of Reionization, when the first stars ionized the universe." (ScitechDaily, Cosmic Archaeology: Unraveling the Mystery of the Universe’s First Light)

"Imagine taking a journey back to the very early days of the universe, specifically, the start of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). That’s when the first stars and galaxies formed, and their energy separated the protons and electrons of the dense, dark primordial hydrogen gas that comprised the universe, producing bubbles of ionized gas." (ScitechDaily, Cosmic Archaeology: Unraveling the Mystery of the Universe’s First Light)

South Pole Observatory has a big mission. That is to find the first light. That term means photons, which came from the Big Bang or the first stars. The first light makes it possible to think about the location where the Big Bang happened. In modern models, black holes formed before the material. 

The gravity effect formed those black holes straight from wave movement. That causes the theorem that some of those primordial black holes are trapped photons from the Big Bang to their orbiter. 



"Scientists are studying the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), a period when the first stars and galaxies ionized hydrogen, illuminating the early universe. Using data from the South Pole Telescope and simulations, researchers aim to detect the faint kSZ effect, which helps understand the timing and process of reionization, even though they haven’t found the signal yet." (ScitechDaily, Cosmic Archaeology: Unraveling the Mystery of the Universe’s First Light)

It tells things like what stars looked like before planets especially rocky planets born. The photon's ability to make internal superposition makes it possible. That photon can close information into its internal state. The photon can carry exact information from the point. And conditions where it is born. 

Modern quantum systems can trap photons. And drive information out from them using superposition and entanglement. The system reads that information like a quantum computer. But the problem is: how to find a photon that comes straight from the first stars? 

Theoretically is possible to find those photons from the early, or young universe because it's possible. They scatter in some molecular clouds. And if those particles reflect enough effectively, that reflection can trap those photons from the early universe into that cloud for a very long time. 

Or maybe, some theoretical primordial black hole pulled those photons to orbit it.  Sometimes, a black hole releases photons. But the fact is that. It's hard to separate the first light from the light, that was born long after the Big Bang. 

The thing that makes the first light research interesting is that there is no time on photons. Photons carry information the same way as the heavier particle, neutrino. The photon should exist forever if it once released. Information touches the photon like a plaque. And it's possible. That some first light photon carries information straight from the Big Bang.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later".
