"I'll Eat my Hat!"
My James Webb Space Telescope Predictions

Hats that need Eating
Spoiler: No big bang, redshift is misinterpreted, no black holes and the eventual discovery of a unified field theory.
Can there ever be a more poignant moment to throw all before you and boldly proclaim, ‘I’ll eat my hat!’ now that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched?
Imbuing us with the power to see twenty times further than the Hubble Telescope, there can be no question that the Webb Telescope will open up vistas that no mind has conceived of, and lay waste to so many hypotheses and theories that have evolved over these past decades.
So what does lie ahead?
Speculations abound. Based on the tenant that only the fantastic will occur, this is a time for science heretics to shine; to wit, I shall now lay down my own predictions of what visuals the Webb Telescope will offer up:
James Webb Space Telescope
Above image: Second generation stars and entire galaxies have now been observed a mere 500 million LY from the big bang - in the 'Dark Ages'
The big bang hypothesis will lose credibility:
When the Webb Telescope is pointed at the event horizon, the big bang assumptions will pop like balloons. I predict we will observe at this locality the event horizon, an environment populated with stars and galaxies that are the same as those seen anywhere else in the observable universe. On that very edge of redshift visibility, there will be no sign of the expected primordial particles left over from a hypothesized big bang; no sign at all of an age-delineated big bang evolution, no sign of a redshift realm exclusively containing primordial stars and galaxies.
Cosmic redshift:
This will force the question: If stars and galaxies are the same there as they are in our local neighborhood, are objects really moving away from one another the further they are from us, or is cosmic redshift being misinterpreted? Put poetically, have we been fooled into looking through a glass onion? In our nearby galactic clusters, we see galaxies speed toward and away from us via the Doppler Effect, but as galaxies are observed further away, they all are gradually redshifted, as if they are moving away from us. But are they?
Or is there something fundamental in the nature of space that we do not yet understand?
Black holes:
When the Webb Telescope turns towards what we hitherto have called black holes, we will see no surrounding plasma accretion disk, the universally accepted signature of what supposedly surrounds a black hole.
Instead, it will reveal highly structured plasmoids; powerful electromagnetic doughnut shaped plasma configurations, for If we have learned anything about nature it is the repeated eloquence of its efficiency. The universe has been around way too long to let something as precious as matter - concentrated energy - be unceremoniously chucked into a cosmic dumpster.
A plasmoid, highly organized plasma configuration
'Black hole' accretion disk - doesn't exist. - No black holes.
These plasmoid configurations contain a mere fraction of the matter attributed to black holes. What are they doing? They are teasing the space fabric apart, a behaviour that induces gravity, gravity without a corresponding quantity of mass.
We will learn that organized plasmas are the bridge between the electromagnetic force and force of gravity,
Fortunately, I am a science heretic without a hat or a reputation, so I am free to throw caution to the wind with my rash speculations.
Anyway, exciting times ahead!
