Did anyone ever really think we had a correct understanding of the universe?

I thought JavaScript becoming the de-facto standard language for the web even on the back-end had already proven that.

Is this a comment on how one must use Javascript to program the JWST?

Are we sure they verified the claims in that JSON Web Token?

The article is about how JWT agrees with independent Hubble telescope measurements. Both disagree with a 3rd measurement that theoretically should be in agreement. Therefore, the theory is obviously wrong/incomplete in a measurable way.

It matches what we’ve seen from Hubble for some time. JWT verified Hubble.
