CST Commentary:
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified the most distant and earliest "dead" massive galaxy ever observed, designated RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7. This galaxy ceased star formation just 700 million years after the Big Bang, challenging current models of galaxy evolution .

In the Cosmic Seed Theory (CST) framework, such findings are not anomalies but expected outcomes. CST posits that galaxies undergo localized "Big Bangs," leading to rapid star formation and subsequent quenching without requiring exotic physics or dark matter. The early cessation of star formation in RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 aligns with CST's view of galaxies as independent systems evolving within an eternal, infinite cosmos.

This discovery underscores the need to reconsider prevailing cosmological models and supports the CST perspective that the universe's complexity arises from localized processes rather than a singular origin event.
