Universe Breaker Galaxies are a small number of Galaxies formed in the first 500-700 million years of the Universe.[1] The term "Universe Breaker" comes from the fact that these galaxies are larger than should be possible considering their old age in relation to the Big Bang Theory.[1] Astronomer Ivo Labbé stated that, “Adding up the stars in those galaxies, it would exceed the total amount of mass available in the universe at that time.”[2]
