Giant 'Naked' Black Hole in Early Universe Rewrites Textbook Cosmology
2025-09-14
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a colossal black hole, QSO1, in the early universe, a discovery that challenges existing theories of galaxy formation. Weighing in at 50 million solar masses, QSO1 exists almost in isolation, with few orbiting stars. This solitary leviathan contradicts the established model, which posits that black holes form within galaxies. The find suggests black holes may have originated in the primordial soup of the Big Bang, existing as independent structures, leading to heated debate and offering fresh insights into the universe's chaotic infancy.
