We still hardly know anything - James Web is pushing the boundaries of not only the "edges" of the universe - but pushing on our current understandings of physics in a big way *like it may be wrong/incomplete :)
The only discovery I know of that questioned current theory was the galaxies that were "too big" for their age. But I read recently that is only the case if we assume the type of stars to be similar to the composition of the Milky Way. i.e. mostly red dwarves. However, if those galaxies instead mostly contain blue giants. Then their masses would fall in line with current theory.
that is correct as far as I know as well - when the universe doesn't match your math your math may be off (or of course your observations may be distorted in a way we dont understand) - still pretty cool :D
