The James Webb Space Telescope has found carbon in a galaxy just 350 million years after the Big Bang. That could mean life began much earlier too, a new study argues.

Or the universe is much older. Or our methods used to measure distance are inexact. We don't know.

I wonder what this means for the "warm universe" concept: that at a certain point from insanely hot right after big bang to freezing cool depths of space, there was a point at which the entire universe was warm enough to allow for the development of life in space. One of the problems with those theories was that carbon wasn't present when the universe was warm enough to have liquid water in deep space.
