Most distant black hole raises a huge cosmic question
<p>It may even be possible, although there are some compelling physics reasons to think not, that the Universe was born with primordial black holes: a population of black holes that sprang into existence long before the very first stars ever formed. These scenarios are particularly important when it comes to explaining the existence of the earliest supermassive black holes ever seen, as many of them are what we call “overmassive” or “outsized,” where it’s very difficult to explain how they got so massive, so quickly, especially considering the environments they’re in.</p>
<p>With the newest cosmic record breaker — <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/missions/chandra/nasa-telescopes-discover-record-breaking-black-hole/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">black hole UHZ1</a>, the <a href="https://chandra.harvard.edu/press/23_releases/press_110623.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">most distant ever discovered</a> — the cosmic mystery just deepened in an unexpected way. Here’s why scientists are fascinated.</p>
