Universe's Hottest Gas Found After Big Bang Shatters Science Theories
- •Scientists discovered SPT2349-56, a galaxy cluster 1.4 billion years post-Big Bang, 5x hotter than predicted.
- •Its gas temperature exceeds 10 million Kelvin, challenging existing cosmological models of early universe evolution.
- •The cluster, 12.4 billion years old, contains over 30 active galaxies with rapid star formation.
- •Three supermassive black holes are believed to be pumping energy, causing extreme heat and turbulence.
- •Discovery made using the ALMA telescope in Chile, revealing a violent, rapid early universe.
Why It Matters: A super-hot early galaxy cluster defies cosmic evolution theories, forcing a rewrite of universe's birth story.
