Average Luminous Mass of Early Galaxies at <I>z</i> = 10 - 20 Predicted as ~10⁹ Solar Masses

Abstract

This paper predicts the average luminous mass of galaxies that will be detected by JWST space telescope at redshift z ≈ 10 - 20. The prediction, derived in the paper, is based on holographic analysis, developed from quantum mechanics, general relativity, thermodynamics, and Shannon information theory. Consistent with early JWST data, ~10 9 solar masses is the predicted average luminous mass of early galaxies at z ≈ 10 - 20 that will be detected by JWST.
