A Single, ‘Naked’ Black Hole Rewrites the History of the Universe
SMRTR summary
A massive "naked" black hole discovered in the early universe challenges our understanding of cosmic formation. Weighing 50 million suns with few surrounding stars, QSO1 contradicts the belief that galaxies form first, then black holes. This discovery, made using the James Webb Space Telescope, suggests black holes may have formed independently or even during the Big Bang itself, potentially rewriting our understanding of the universe's first billion years.
