, these compact red structures, which are only about two percent the size of the Milky Way, puzzle astronomers. The issue is that they can't determine what they are, because observing them through different mediums each points to them being a different kind of object.

Deepening the mystery, the Little Red Dots were only visible for a period of around one billion years, about 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. Now, they're nowhere to be found, and determining exactly what they are will be crucial to figuring out where they fit into the evolution of our universe.

Not to mention that most of what the universe is comprised simply can't be observed by our instruments

There is no evolution to our universe, we live in an explosion of time and matter that creates an illusion of space, that allows us merely a glimpse of the glimpse that this explosion encapsulates.

13.8 bllion years is but a nano-second that leaves us all disfigured and disabled by our attempt to comprehend it.

We live in a multiversal IED, looking from the inside out.

Interesting take. Thanks for posting.

I'd like to visit some of those parallel universes sometime.
