24 Hour Rule, astronomy edition

Upon receipt of news that you want to be true, or (less likely) news that trolls want to be true and are nagging you to acknowledge; I have been advised to sit upon the blogpost for a bit. A few weeks back, James Webb told us - well, told some data-analysts anyway - that certain galaxies were too redshifted for the liking of Big Bang / Λ-CDM theorists.

Zimmerman took this as a challenge to the Big Bang. Triton Station took this as a vindication of Modified Newton. I'm more on Triton's side on this one (whatever I personally think of either proprietor). UPDATE 11/25: Nah, Triton still sucks.

As a Catholic of course I accept the Big Bang. Luckily this hypothesis seems to be meeting its challenges better than certain other challenges our Church would rather not mention.

Back to JWST it turns out the data weren't adequately analysed. These things happen with fresh data. Hence, the need for the rule.
