- A signal from the Universe's first stars, born a cosmic heartbeat after the
Big Bang, has been detected for the first time, astronomers said Wednesday,
setting the science world aflutter.
The
observation came after a decade-long quest, years earlier than expected, and
was described by one excited observer as the biggest astronomical breakthrough
since the Nobel-capped detection of gravitational waves in 2015.
The
findings have to be confirmed by other experiments.
Crucially,
it is hoped the discovery will shed light on dark matter -- an invisible,
mysterious substance thought to make up a large share of the Universe.
"Finding
this miniscule signal has opened a new window on the early Universe," said
Arizona State University astronomer Judd Bowman, the project's lead
investigator.
"Telescopes
cannot see far enough to directly image such ancient stars, but we've seen when
they turned on" -- that is, sparked to life -- "in radio waves
arriving from space."
Fingerprints
of the stars, already active 13.6 billion years ago -- a mere 180 million years
after the Big Bang gave rise to the Universe -- were picked up by a dining
table-sized radio spectrometer in the Australian desert.
Such
evidence had been expected, but not for years to come.
To
everyone's surprise, and delight, the signal contained something curious.
The early
Universe, the data showed, appears to have been twice as cold as previously
estimated, at minus 270 degrees Celsius (-454 degrees Fahrenheit), according to
the study in Nature.
Some
suggested a role for dark matter -- the theme of an accompanying science paper
published by the same journal.
'Wow!'
The author
of that study, Rennan Barkana of Tel Aviv University, said the freeze might be
explained by ordinary matter interacting with, and losing energy to, dark
matter.
"If
Barkana's idea is confirmed then we've learnt something new and fundamental about
the mysterious dark matter that makes up 85 percent of the matter in the
Universe, providing the first glimpse of physics beyond the Standard
Model," said Bowman.
Data from
the Planck satellite showed in 2013 that ordinary matter -- which makes up everything
we can touch and see -- comprises a mere 4.9 precent of the Universe, and dark
matter 26.8 percent.
The other
68.3 percent is dark energy.
Invisible
to telescopes, dark matter is perceived through its gravitational pull on other
objects in the cosmos.
But its
existence is not explained by the Standard Model of physics -- the mainstream
theory of the fundamental particles that make up matter and the forces that
govern them.
Finding
dark matter particles could require updating the Standard Model with futuristic
theories such as "supersymmetry", which postulates the existence of a
heavier sibling for every particle in the Universe, or extra dimensions.
Expert
observers' reactions ranged from "a truly amazing result", and
"wow!", to advising caution.
"The
apparent detection of the signature of the first stars in the Universe will be
a revolutionary discovery if it stands the tests of time," said Nobel
Prize-awarded astrophysicist Brian Schmidt of The Australian National
University.
Window on
the Universe
"Astronomers
worldwide will be holding their breath until the result is confirmed by an
independent experiment," added Karl Glazebrook of the Swinburne University
of Technology in comments via the Science Media Centre in Australia.
If it is,
it would open "a new window on the early Universe and potentially a new
understanding of the nature of dark matter."
Described
as technically robust by expert commentators, the findings must nevertheless be
confirmed by independent experiments.
Scientists believe
that for about 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the Universe was dark --
filled primarily with hydrogen.
Gravity
slowly pulled the densest regions of gas together to form stars, according to
the Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration.
The signals
detected in the study came from primordial hydrogen, at a time that light from
the first stars made the gas detectible for the first time.
Our own Sun
and Solar System was formed about nine billion years later.
The
earliest stars were the source of all heavy elements in the Universe, including
those necessary for life to exist.

“.. Physics - Sticking To The Known
Physicists are among the kinds of scientists who expect change through discovery, and who absolutely know that they are unaware of how everything works. It comes with the territory of being a physicist. Yet the mistakes they make in their bias are the same as the computer scientist. They take their truth from known absolute physics in 3D and then apply this truth to everything they don't know.
I point to the revelation and the discoveries of astronomer Vera Rubin. When she found out that stars that orbit the middle of your galaxy don't behave within the gravitational laws of Newton or the laws of planetary motion from Kepler, it was a major discovery. Your solar system moves around the sun in highly definable 3D laws of motion. The objects that are further away from the sun go slower. The ones closer to the sun go faster. However, her discovery showed that stars orbiting the galaxy had this reversed! The stars that are further away from the middle go faster. What she discovered was that all of the stars go the same speed in relationship to the middle, like they were pasted on a plate, all revolving together around the center. They do not follow the rules of the physics that you know.
So, what did the physicists and astronomers do with this major new information? Instead of seeing a brand new paradigm, they instead used Newton's laws and computed what would have to be "out there" to make this happen. Dark matter! It had to be mysterious, invisible matter that was creating this very strange and enormous new Newtonian attribute. Instead of looking at this and saying, "There is a new law of physics happening here that we don't yet know about," they kept it within the Newton box and renamed it, "Altered Newtonian Physics". That's funny! That's like a situation when you discovered the earth was round and called it the "Altered Flat-Earth Principle"!
Newton's name is still attached, but his 3D laws have nothing to do with anything Ruben discovered. Dark matter does not exist! It's a made-up energy to satisfy an old law that doesn't apply! Instead, there is a new law of physics that you haven't seen yet. It's a multidimensional law having to do with modified entanglement. Modified entangled objects are created because of what is in the middle of the galaxy. The immense push-pull twin energy at the middle of each galaxy is not simplistic like your sun is to your own solar system. It does not have Kepler rules, since it's not mass that's just orbiting naturally. Yet, you think it is, since it looks similar: The galaxy has stars circling it in space. Someday, you'll slap your heads in revelation of what you did with this, and you will change the rules.
Now to esoteric astronomy: Look what you've done with the idea that you came from the Pleiadians. There are some scientists laughing right now who smugly say that the mythology of the Pleiadians being your seed biology is simply not possible. It's not possible because of astronomical history, and what they now know about the constellation itself.
Pleiadian Connection - Mythology?
Let's talk about the Pleiadian system, the Seven Sisters. Let's talk about the truth of it, and then let's discuss what science says is the mythology of it. We will tell you what you don't see and don't comprehend, simply because of your existing knowledge.
You call this constellation the Seven Sisters [M45]. The physical facts are that there are hundreds of stars in this Pleiades group. Circling these stars is a nebula (dust particles and gas). This creates a wonderful blue tinge that you can see in the heavens on a clear night. With distance and atmospheric attributes against you, the naked eye can only perceive what appears to be seven stars (or clusters), hence the name Seven Sisters. However, there are actually nine when you use a telescope. Each of the nine have been identified with names, but again, there are actually hundreds of stars.
The Seven Sisters are approximately 440 light years away. From the viewpoint of astronomy and distances, that's close - very close! Now, here's what science says is wrong with your mythology about the Pleiadians: The constellation is way too young! The whole system of the Pleiades is far too young to have developed life. It's only approximately 100 million years old - a baby! The galaxy is four billion years old [according to your science] and your planet is at least a billion of that. Yet, the Pleiadians are only a tiny fraction of that, only 100 million.
So here is what science says: The mythology has most of the ancients of this planet claiming the Pleiadians as their seeds. However, this is impossible due to the age of the stars. The suppositions and logic are applied this way: What you saw on earth happens everywhere in the galaxy. That's incorrect, and quite humorous! Your bias is that life develops only a certain way, based upon the way it developed here. Not only is that incorrect in general, but the possibility has never even been broached that perhaps, just perhaps, the Pleiadian life as you think it exists was actually implanted there! How about that? Perhaps it didn't evolve from there at all! So to dismiss a possibility completely due to only the knowledge of what you have here may result in a totally illogical conclusion. Then there is the question, "How did those Pleiadians get so advanced so quickly?" [Wink]
These are just little vignettes of possibility, which I throw to you this evening to give you things to think about. The Pleiadians who are here are smiling, and they know you so well. You may be the new kids on the block because life just developed on your planet, but the Pleiadians had an entirely different scenario from what you had. To become an ascended planet, they needed certain kinds of pushes from certain other kinds of planets. They had their own seed biology! Dear ones, it's important to start thinking out of the box of your knowledge and open up to possibilities that are not what you've seen here. ….”

“… The entire galaxy revolves as one plate, in a very counter-intuitive way. The stars and the constellations do not orbit within the rules of Newtonian physics that you are used to seeing all around you in your own solar system. For the stars and clusters in your galaxy, distance from the center does not matter. All the stars rotate as one. This is because the galaxy is entangled with the middle of itself. In that state, there is no time or distance. The change of consciousness on this planet has changed the center of the galaxy. This is because what happens here, dear one, is "known" by the center.
It's interesting to us what your reaction to all this is scientifically. You saw that the "creative event" of your Universe is missing some energy in order for it to have formed as it did. In addition, the unusual way the galaxy rotates, as I just stated, was also noted. So you have calculated that for all this to be in place, there has to be missing 3D matter, and you have given it a name - dark matter. How funny! Did you ever think that there could be a multidimensional effect going on that you now can observe and calculate - that has immense power, but can't be seen? It's not "matter" at all and it's not 3D. It's quantum energy.
Let me tell you something about physics. Yet again, I'll make it simple. Everything your scientists have seen in physics happens in pairs. At the moment, there are four laws of physics in your three-dimensional paradigm. They represent two pairs of energy types. Eventually, there will be six. At the center of your galaxy is what you call a black hole, but it is not a single thing. It is a duality. There is no such thing as "singularity". You might say it's one energy with two parts - a weak and a strong quantum force. And the strangest thing is it knows who you are. It is the creator engine. It's different in other galaxies than this one. It's unique.
The very physics of your galaxy is postured by what you do here. The astronomers can look into the cosmos and they will discover different physics in different galaxies. Could it be that there's something going on in the other galaxies like this one? I'm not going to answer that. … “
