Unveiling the Mystery: The Surprising Relationship Between Black Holes and Galaxies

New research based on a reanalysis of data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests that supermassive black holes may have existed during the first 50 million years of the universe, challenging previous theories that they formed after the first stars and galaxies. The findings indicate that these black holes could have influenced the early universe by driving star formation, potentially reshaping our understanding of how galaxies form. The research team theorizes that the early universe had two distinct phases, with black holes accelerating star formation in the first phase and triggering rapid star formation in the second phase before stymying it with massive outflows. The team believes that future JWST data could confirm this new theory and provide answers to fundamental questions about the universe.
