Unveiling the Cosmic Conundrum: Supermassive Black Holes or Galaxies - New JWST Insights

TL;DR Summary
New analysis of data from the early Universe collected by the James Webb Space Telescope suggests that black holes and galaxies emerged together, with the black holes shaping the galaxies that evolved around them. The presence of supermassive black holes very early in the Universe's history challenges previous assumptions about their formation, indicating that they could have coexisted with baby galaxies and spurred on their growth. This discovery could significantly alter our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve.
