And how can scientists say, "This shouldn't exist", like they were privy to the blue-print for universe's design?

It makes me wonder if it’s so big, how was it missed until now? I guess the more you think you know, the less you really know.
Right. And how can scientists say, "This shouldn't exist", like they were privy to the blue-print for universe's design?
Maybe it makes them look bad, after writing so many papers on structure limitations, and they don't like that.

Don't forget it is not there anymore. It was there 9.2 billion years ago. What is being observed might no longer apply to what is happening now in the universe.

What else is out there for us to discover ?
Well, we are constantly discovering that what we thought we knew is not actually really correct. Then they correct the mistake but do not fix the mistakes that evolved off of the mistake. Lots of stuff is screwed up because of that second sentence.

Cosmology is not my subject, so therfore i am somewhat limited in how i understand this.
The discovery of this huge ring of galaxies, says that humans may have knowledge to some extent on how the universe works, but in reality we still know very little.
Here are a few snippets from the article.
Scientists at the University of Central Lancashire have discovered a gigantic, ring-shaped structure in space.
They say that it is so big it challenges our understanding of the universe.
Such large structures should not exist according to one of the guiding principles of astronomy, called the cosmological principle. This states that all matter is spread smoothly across the Universe.

And here is the young lady who made the discovery.

Possibly worth considering that the universe(spacetime) is expanding faster than light.
And while the expansion is not happening everywhere, the effects are noticeable on a larger cosmological scale.

The most distant galaxy discovered is 13.4 billion light-years.
New work from an international team of astronomers improves our understanding of the most-distant known astrophysical object— GN-z11, a galaxy 13.4 billion light-years from Earth.
Astronomers have been looking for the most distant objects for quite a long time, some of the most fascinating to me are Quasars. The distances and vastness of of space are completely mind boggling.
Which reminds me I need to go somewhere with little light pollution on the next clear night and simply look up.

The best are the people who think NOW everything science "knows" is absolutely correct and can't possibly be wrong and if you question it you're a "science denier." Even though that's what they thought about the old stuff that was proven wrong.
I love science. The people turning science into their religion are the problem.

It may be wise to further develop our understanding of visualization before looking into space; we have no idea what we are doing, looking at planetary bodies.
With this in mind, perhaps the flat-earther's planet-covered dome idea begins to make more sense. And could only be there to keep us from seeing actual reality??? hhhmmmm...

Interesting thread alldaylong.
What else is out there for us to discover ?
Given the size, scope, and grand scheme of it all, i imagine the answer to that question is rather a lot.
And maybe the great question to 'Why are we here' is answered as simply as 'Just because'
So it doesn't violate the principle that nothing can travel through space faster than the speed of light.

Cosmic inflation apparently.
But the key point to understand is that during cosmic inflation, space itself is expanding, not objects moving through space.
So it doesn't violate the principle that nothing can travel through space faster than the speed of light.
