Astronomers had been able to spot the signature of specific molecules in
the early universe before, but those observations were mostly confined to extremely bright objects such as quasars.
Life couldn't have survived in the very
early universe before stars formed, so the universe had to have reached a certain age and stage of evolution before life could arise.
«But it's been hypothesized that there could be black holes that formed in the very
early universe before stars existed at all.

For a third example, not everyone in the
early 1960s believed that the USSR would inevitably overtake the US economically
before the end of the century, but excluding fierce anti-Communists predicting fire and brimstone, I don't know anyone who expected that by the 1980s the USSR would essentially be insolvent (technically it wasn't, but LDC debt traders nonetheless included the country in their
universe of defaulted or restructuring sovereign borrowers).
I can't claim to be providing certainly accurate information on this, since it's been a while since I've done relevant physics reading (lay books, not academic), but in the
early universe (
before inflation went out of control) there were irregularities that gave rise to clumping, from which the first stars and galaxies originated.
The fact is that we don't know what happened in the
early seconds of the
universe, and no matter what we will conclude there will always be the question what was
before that, a little like the hen and the egg.
Astronomers expected water vapor to be present even in the
early, distant
universe, but had not detected it this far away
before.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse
before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer
universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much
before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much
earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
Before that point, physicists still held dear the picture of the
universe laid out by Isaac Newton more than 200 years
earlier, in which space and time were immutable and could be measured accurately by rigid rulers and clocks.
In standard cosmology, the exponential expansion of the
universe called cosmic inflation began perhaps as
early as 10 - 35 seconds after the beginning of time — that's a decimal point followed by 34 zeros
before a 1.
It took four tries
before he could get an
early version of the mathematical
universe hypothesis published, and when the article finally appeared, an older colleague warned that his «crackpot ideas» could damage his reputation.
Late in 2002, Wolfram Freudling and two colleagues grabbed some observing time on the Hubble Space Telescope to study the
universe's pristine
early days,
before exploding stars seeded interstellar space with heavy elements.
Before the first detailed full - sky map of the
early universe was unveiled in February, astrophysicists could offer only approximate answers to some fundamental questions: How old is the
universe?
TOO BIG, TOO SOON Supermassive black holes that are actively feeding on gas and dust, like the one shown in this artist's rendition, have been spotted in the
early universe —
before they should have had time to grow.
That is in part because stars did not form at high rates in the very
early universe,
before a redshift of about 5, and so they did not explode often as GRBs.
JWST is an infrared observatory designed to peer further back into the
universe's
early days than ever
before.
However, in the smaller,
early universe, some growing black holes and nearby stars might have merged
before the heavens were stretched out leaving extremely large MBHs in small galaxies.46
An interesting theory from
early 2015,
before the first black hole merger signal had been detected, drafts a compelling scenario, formulated by Madrid professor Juan Garcia - Bellido and postdoc Sebastien Clesse from RWTH Aachen University: maybe the
universe is crowded with black holes of various sizes, remnants of large density fluctuations during the so - called inflation phase of the Big Bang.
In the
early universe,
before the budding galaxies have had time to upcycle their abundant hydrogen into heavier elements, organic chemistry is thought to proceed slowly or not at all.
Because the star is so far away and its light takes nine billion years to reach Earth, the star looks as it did when the
universe was less than a third of its current age which is much
earlier than ever
before.
But, some black holes are thought to have come from the
early universe, long
before these drawn - out star deaths could have finished.
