"Unprecedented Discoveries: Black Holes Defy Expectations"
TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that supermassive black holes in the early universe are much larger relative to their host galaxies than those in the present universe, supporting the concept of heavy seeding. Research suggests that these black holes may have formed from massive gas clouds collapsing into black holes 10,000 times the mass of the Sun, inhibiting star formation in their host galaxies. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the early universe and raises questions about the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes.
