Scientists: Why there's more light than there should be in the universe

And it might have to do with dark matter.
The video in the link claims the New Horizons probe now out past Pluto is finding more light than expected (twice as much!) ... "and it's not due to stars, but rather from between them", the video claims. So the reason they might be seeing more light is due to axions, they say. Yeah ... that's right ... the particle that I just posted about them NOT finding so far. But, according to the video, axions with a mass between 8 and 20 electronvolts could create all this extra light. I decided to investigate further and did confirm what the above reported. New Horizons has found more light than expected and, hot off the press, scientists are now suggesting axions are the cause (https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1 ... 129.231301 ).

They probably are going to ask for lots of money to study that.

Hmmmm ... I wonder if there is any other reason the universe might be twice as bright as they expected?

Well for one ...

“It turns out that the galaxies that we know about can account for about half of the level we see,” says Tod Lauer, an astronomer at the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Ariz.
The above article concludes
There are several astronomical reasons that could explain the discrepancy. Perhaps, says Postman, rogue stars stripped from galaxies linger in intergalactic space. Or maybe, he says, there is “a very faint population of very compact galaxies that are just below the detection limits of Hubble.” If it’s the latter case, astronomers should know in the next couple years because NASA’s recently launched James Webb Space Telescope will see these even-fainter galaxies (SN: 10/6/21).
And guess what? JWST has found a lot more galaxies than they expected.

Nasa's James Webb telescope reveals millions of galaxies

There were 10 times more galaxies just like our own Milky Way in the early Universe than previously thought.

The very first science-quality image released by the JWST team — an image showing countless galaxies sprinkled across space — sparked a scramble as scientists hunted for the most distant galaxies in the observable universe, a quest that continued as the telescope settled into operations. ... snip ... Astronomers had estimated how many galaxies they might find at these distances, but in JWST's observations to date, candidates are proving more plentiful than expected. ... snip ... "These galaxies we're talking about are bright, and so they were hiding, just under the limits of what Hubble could do," she added.

JWST Reveals Previously Hidden “Undiscovered Country” Of Early Galaxies

The galaxies' incredible light output is a puzzling thing. They are either filled with many small stars, making them extremely massive; or, they have fewer, but much larger stars. These more massive stars could be the fabled Population III stars, the first stars that ever shone in the universe, which we are yet to see and that JWST is going to look for.
And to top things off ...

JWST Spots Incredibly Faint "Ghostly" Light Emitted Between Galaxies

Intracluster light is less than 1% of the brightness of the darkest sky on Earth but JWST can help us see it.

JWST has seen intracluster light (ICL), the very faint emission produced by stars pulled out of their galaxies as these cosmic islands interact inside a cluster. Seeing this light has big implications not just for understanding the evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters, but also for a mystery crucial to our whole understanding of the cosmos.
Oh well, looks like one implication might be that another DM theory is going the way of the Dodo ... before it ever took flight. :lol:

Its ironic koz (if the universe is eternal & infinite)(which it is) the proper question (or a proper Q) is (should be) why there is less light in the universe than there should be (as per Olbers).
There (silly) Q only kums up if we live in a (their) BB universe.
STR is krapp -- & GTR is mostly krapp.
The present Einsteinian Dark Age of science will soon end – for the times they are a-changin'.
The aether will return – it never left.

New Horizons probe may have observed light from decaying dark matter
It’s two week old news but the mainstream repeats it to keep the dream alive and the funding flowing. That takes propaganda.
