> The thing is, where they found it is not normal: The light we see from it left the galaxy 12.4 billion years ago, meaning we’re seeing it as it was when the Universe itself was only 1.4 billion years old! It's not confusing at all. It's because the long-worshipped, conventional big bang theory is wrong. The universe doesn't have a beginning or end. It's eternal. The original sin of that theory is that it's tainted with forced space for a deity belief at the center and always has been. The universe cycles unevenly through phases of motion, it doesn't magically start from nothing and then 'die.' The conventional big bang theory is as bad as any other children's tale going, it's up there with Santa Claus. We're going to find a lot more supposed abnormalities like this over time. They're not abnormalities, it's the entrenched incorrect theories that are the problem. The universe (everything that exists) is drastically larger than we already think it is. Humans are arrogant, we didn't realize the extent of the micro world, and the same exact mistake is being made at the macro scale. What they think is a singular ~14-15 billion year old universe, is nothing more than one collection of galaxies, there are many more like it nearby (many as in trillions and trillions). The micro world was far smaller than we imagined; the macro world is far larger than we're imagining. It's the same mental mistake playing out, caused by the same arrogance. What's beyond the 'universe' that we can see so far? More massive collections of galaxies, similar to the one we inhabit that we mistakenly call the universe.

Wouldn’t a universe with no beginning or end begin to exist only when the first sentient being is able to observe it?

Strong claims, but can you back them up? How do you explain the apparent accelerating expansion of the universe, i.e. that the farther away something is, the more redshifted it gets? How do you explain the cosmic microwave background radiation enveloping us in all directions?

  Of course they can't back this up. What the universe really is, is a simulation. We are trapped in it. "Lightspeed limit": this is because the simulation has a finite computing power. You can either move in time normally, or you can move in space. If you go to the max allowed speed, there's no processing left over to simulate time, therefore time stops for that entity. At intermediate speeds, slow down time accordingly. "Planck length": resolution of the simulation. It's discrete, and you can't go any smaller. "Heisenberg uncertainty principle": another simulation optimization. Instead of simulating all particles, just use a probabilistic function. You actually don't have to simulate it, just the macroscopic effects, unless there's an observation. In which case you can compute either the position or speed of the particle. See also: atom orbitals "Superluminal" expansion: it's just so we don't try to get to other galaxies, which are only being simulated in a macro scale. This was left by the developer to turn the 'lightspeed bug' into a feature. Also closes bug UNIVERSE-001 where the background radiation was still visible, but other galaxies visibility was off due to performance concerns. Now they can be enabled. "Dark matter": other civilization experiments that we don't have permissions to see. Still there and interacting with matter. Bug is still in the backlog. See, anyone can come up with whacky stuff.
