Don't read too much into articles like this using hyperbolic phrases. It's not impossible. It doesn't break the laws of physics. Our understanding of physics is just imperfect and gets refined as we gather new data.

So when a new instrument like JWST can see more stuff than we've ever seen before, of course we're going to see some new wild shit. That's the entire reason they made it.
