The Standard Model Big Bang Age of the Universe Confused for Special Relativity Absolute Time Dilation Barrier

Description
There is a crisis with the standard model of cosmology at its outer limits. Why are well-developed galaxies, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, existing only 300 million years from the beginning of the observable universe? A solution to the problem is offered that evokes the principles laid down in Albert Einstein's 1905 special relativity, time dilation. Are we looking at a wall where time stops? Special relativity states that time slows down if you’re moving — relative to an observer. As a body approaches the speed of light, time will appear to slow on the moving /travelling body. At the speed of light time will appear to stop to the observer. The solution is we are the observers and the galaxies (relative to us) at the outer edge of the universe— right about the place of the said Big Bang beginning — are expanding away from us at the speed of light and faster. We are observing a wall where time stops, a barrier, that we cannot see through. This would suggest the universe can be much older and we may never know how old because of this barrier. Special relativity also says that bodies appear smaller from the perspective of the observer. This may further distort our perception of the accelerating universe; the universe may be even larger than thought.
