"Surprising Findings: Webb Telescope Challenges Existence of Supermassive Black Holes"

Data from the Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument suggests that supermassive black holes may be growing at a slower pace than previously believed. Researchers studying the Extended Groth Strip observed fewer growing supermassive black holes and less dust than expected, indicating that these black holes may not be significantly impacting their host galaxies. The findings provide a new perspective on black hole growth and challenge current understanding, which is largely based on the most massive black holes in the biggest galaxies.
