Are you saying that globlar clusters around the most distant galaxies are

seen as identical to M4?

Mr. State claimed that a distant galaxy, whose light was emitted 8 GY ago,
is seen by us as it was 8 GY ago. If the image of that galaxy looks like
that of a spiral galaxy analogous to ours, he inferred that the distant
galaxy, 8 GY ago, should also have in its halo stars which are 13 GY old.
Hence, the distant galaxy (or rather its halo) was already 13 GY old
8 GY ago, so the stars of its halo were born 21 GY ago.

Alternatively, are you saying that globular clusters don't evolve?


No, Mr. State didn't make such claim, on the contrary.
But, according to Mr. Bang, "A globular cluster 13 billion years away
would be seen as a newborn object."

Thanks,
