> false positive possibility is now very low
It's not that low, unfortunately. From the article:
> They say their observations have reached the ‘three-sigma’ level of statistical significance. This means there's a 0.3% probability the detection occurred by chance. And to reach the accepted level that would mean scientific discovery, observations would have to meet the five-sigma threshold. In other words, there would need to be below a 0.00006% probability they occurred by chance.
Thats what I'd like to know, is this the kind of process that we can _get_ to 6 sigma by more observation time? Or would we need other observations / thats "as good as it gets" for the Webb's capabilities?
