“We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?”

Thought: I’m a huge space nerd (Exhibit A: Space LEGOs in my living room). The last two weeks has been all about the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST looks at the infrared spectrum to travel back in time to the universe’s beginnings (13.6 billion years ago). As the universe expands, the wavelength of light moves from ultraviolet and visible into infrared due to redshift (the light stretches as objects move away). So too with my light – it seems less visible than it once was. But it needs a telescope that looks at where I was (context) and where I’ve gone (growth). Looking at my origin shows the echos of my light; still here, but on a different wavelength needing a different tool to see.
