Scientists may have uncovered the secret behind the universe’s first supermassive black holes |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

For years now, astronomers have been witnessing what seems like an ever-growing puzzle regarding the early formation of the universe. According to recent findings, some supermassive black holes, with masses ranging up to one billion times larger than the sun’s, were formed within less than a billion years following the formation of the universe itself. This phenomenon is hard to understand according to current scientific explanations for the evolution of black holes. Normally, black holes are created when stars collapse and gradually increase in size. This is because the entire process requires time. However, recent findings made through the use of the James Webb Space Telescope point toward the opposite. There might be an unknown force behind their quick formation, and dark matter could be the answer.
