New Insights into Supermassive Black Holes Challenge Early Universe Theories

Recent observations reveal unexpected growth patterns and powerful winds reshaping galaxies.

James Webb Space Telescope finds an unusually massive black hole from the universe's early days, questioning known growth mechanisms.
The quasar J1120+0641, observed as it was 770 million years after the Big Bang, shows no signs of rapid feeding.
Supermassive black hole winds, observed at 36 million miles per hour, can significantly influence galaxy formation.
Researchers suggest early black holes may have formed from massive 'seeds' rather than rapid feeding.
The findings imply a need for revised models of black hole and galaxy evolution in the early universe.
