Rule-breaking black hole found growing at 13 times the cosmic 'speed limit,' challenging theories

A supermassive black hole called ID830 is consuming matter at 13 times the theoretical speed limit, defying established cosmic rules. This ancient quasar simultaneously emits both X-ray and radio waves, a combination that current scientific models say shouldn't exist together during such rapid feeding phases. The discovery suggests these super-fast-growing black holes may be more common than previously thought, potentially explaining how massive black holes formed so quickly after the Big Bang and influenced early galaxy development.
