Look there’s a rabbit! It must be easter!

Hold one a moment. Maybe there are other reasons there are rabbits. Let’s look around a second and think.

Maybe that is what the old galaxies mean but we need to look at the data understand what we are seeing calculate in all the fanominon and then start making hypotheses. We don’t just jump to conjecture.

Maybe the universe is older, maybe we found our first warm hole and are looking at a different place, maybe relativistic effects are playing with time, or maybe there was a bug on the telescope. maybe maybe maybe.

It’s interesting and it will be examined but you don’t assume you’re in Willy Wonka’s factory just because you saw chocolate on the ground.
