Is nobody else suspicious that NASA mostly publishes pictures with vague claims about them? Increased resolution is not providing any new clues or inspiration about "the universe". It seems to me like propaganda for a nihilist cosmology.

Considering that the Big Old Bang and Heat Death are based off plugging Infinity into quantum models, and therefor not real, these new images may not even be of objects lightyears away (also a model). They can't prove they are not zooming on something closer.

Closer than a light year? Parallax would easily give it away. No way.

A hologram can show parallax, so can an iPhone screen. What have you proved?

you are suspicious because the government agency tasked with photographing space is publishing photographs of space?

The pictures are the end of the road for billions in R&D, to say nothing of the academic costs studying unverifiable cosmology. Tasked with?? Is that all it's for, pictures that add zero new information? NASA might as well be the Vatican making smoke signals behind closed doors, and then revealing new doctrine as a result.

The pretty pictures you see in articles are just the tip of the iceberg, which are published instead of in-depth data and technical explanations because the former generates clicks and the latter doesn’t.

Looking closely at the data from Hubble/Webb is how scientists prove (e.g. [1]) and disprove/adjust (e.g. [2]) the quantum models you speak of.

See my other comments, but measuring light does not prove anything. Light can be refracted in ways unknown to your model, which would bring distant objects closer, invalidate singularities (big bang, heat death). Another model turns those pictures into smudges on a lens instead of unfathomably distant objects, some of which also completely break your model!!

Staying WITHIN THE MODEL for all validation is precisely how you come these silly conclusion about the universe (big bang, heat death).

Obviously the Hubble is still doing useful science, but since the JWST is operating now every time I see a Hubble thing it makes me wonder what the JWST would see.

There's some really good explanation of the difference in the two systems in this NOVA episode: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/ultimate-space-telescope...
