Default The sea of galaxies comes slowly into view

"We are talking about massive galaxies, twice as massive as the Milky
Way today," said Karina Caputi, an astronomer at University of Groningen
in the Netherlands and lead author on the new work. "Currently, even the
most up-to-date galaxy-formation models cannot predict such massive
galaxies [before] almost 2 billion years after the Big Bang,"

Scientific Article
http://www.eso.org/public/archives/r...5/eso1545a.pdf
That article says (page 16)
"Our results indicate that some very massive galaxies are
present since the universe was only a billion years old."

The milky way is more than 10Gy old. How a galaxy TWICE AS MASSIVE can
appear in just 945My (z=6) ??

And the authors say that many more galaxies even more massive are
lurking behind, obscured by dust. This confirms what I have reported
here in a previous discussion: the sea of galaxies waiting for us behind
the farthest galaxies that we can see now.

Current cosmology (big bang theory) is coming to an end.
