This report synthesizes JWST findings that challenge existing astrophysical models, suggesting new paradigms.
AbstractThe recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) during late 2025 and early2026 has led to a restructuring of our astrophysical paradigms. While the telescope’s initialdeployment in 2022 began a new era in infrared astronomy, current data challenges existingmodels under the standard ΛCDM cosmological model and traditional stellar nucleosynthesistheories. This report synthesizes findings related to: (i) the Morphological Crisis at CosmicDawn, marked by “Platypus” galaxies and “Little Red Dots” (LRDs); (ii) the Chemical Crisisin local dwarf galaxies, where primitive stars appear to forge dust in unexpected quantities;and (iii) the Exoplanetary Crisis, highlighted by pulsar planets with anomalous atmosphericchemistries. Proposed solutions, including Entanglement-Weighted Origin Gravity (EWOG),offer potential paths forward.
