The Discovery of Galaxies within the First 300 Million Years of the Early Universe and Topological Cosmology: A Supplementary Explanation

This paper proposes, from the perspective of Topological Cosmology, that our
universe may not be the absolute original Big Bang universe, but a derived uni
verse separated from a preceding “Mother Universe” through local topological
separation. The motivation is the discovery of high-redshift galaxies in the very
early universe by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JADES-GS-z14-0 has
been spectroscopically confirmed near z = 14.32, corresponding to roughly 290
300 million years after the Big Bang. ALMA observations also reported oxygen in
JADES-GS-z14-0, suggestingthatthis galaxymayhavebeenchemicallymorema
ture than expected at an age of less than 300 million years. This paper does not
interpret such observations merely as evidence that galaxies formed faster than
expected. Instead, it interprets them as a possible indication that our universe
inherited spatial phase stability and matter-condensation directionality from a
Mother Universe during a local topological separation event. In this framework,
the 300-million-year galaxy problem is not only a problem of early galaxy formation,

but also a question about the genealogy of our universe and the meaning of the Big Bang.

Original Proposal Notice

This hypothesis and interpretive framework were first proposed, structured, and authored by JB Lee as part of the Topological Cosmology framework. Researchers who cite, extend, formalize, simulate, mathematically develop, or reinterpret this hypothesis are requested to acknowledge JB Lee as the original proposer of the concepts presented herein, including the derived-universe hypothesis, the Mother Universe separation model, inherited spatial phase stability, and the topological interpretation of early galaxy formation within the first 300 million years of the universe.
