Have you ever thought about looking through the lens of a telescope? Ever had the chance?

The quasar, J0529-4351, is located so far from Earth that its light has taken 12 billion years to reach us, meaning it is seen as it was when the 13.8 billion-year-old universe was just under 2 billion years old.
Ok, so my question is in all that time (12b years) not once did some big solar system get between that light beam and Earth? All the matter in space you’d think it continuously interfered with that light beam in all that time. So nothing got between Earth and this Quasar?

Quasar was established as a television brand in 1967 by Motorola, who wanted to emphasize the simplified design of their all-transistor television sets; the chassis was designed in such a way that the electronic components were contained within a drawer that could be slid out by a technician for easy replacement or repair.[1]
My Dad was a TV repairman. He hated those “works in a drawer” TVs.
He also said Curtis Mathis TVs were nothing special, even though they claimed to be. He was a Zenith man.

Is the light we are seeing coming at us like a movie playing on a screen and we are seeing it live, but 12 billion years delayed? I can buy that, but does that light not get reflected, deflected, and ultimately changed in that distance and time that it travels, to where we really have no idea what it is by the time it gets here?

Temporarily, if something blocks it for a short time.

They can’t. It’s just a guess. Last year, it was “discovered” they were wrong on the age of universe. They were just off by a factor of 2. Now they claim 26 billion years old. Something this article hasn’t caught up with yet.

This statement gets me. They couldn't see it because it was too bright. That's wild.
It was spotted sometime earlier, but it was thought to be a nearby star

These models are also trained using currently discovered objects, which means they can miss candidates with exceptional properties like J0529-4351.
Indeed, this quasar is so bright that models passed it over believing it to be a star located relatively close to Earth.
This misclassification was spotted in 2023, when astronomers realized J0529-4351 is, in fact, a quasar after having a look at the object's region using the 2.3-meter telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.

Brighter than 50 Trillions Suns
12 Billion years for the light to reach Earth
Universe is 13.7 Billion years old
Earth is 4.5 billion years old
Once again I will say. if you don't know the start date, you can't tell the age.
These jerk off scientist, have no phucking clue about these numbers, none, nada, zilch, zero. They are pulling these numbers from deep up their arse.
This is 100,000,000,000,000 tons of bull shite.
