An Explanation for the Massive Black Holes the JWST Found in the Early Universe

This artist's illustration shows a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the early Universe. The JWST found galaxies in the very early Universe that were extremely massive compared to their host galaxies. New research has an explanation for those puzzling findings.

Ever since the JWST found over-massive black holes in the early Universe, researchers have been trying to understand them. Theory showed that black holes and their galaxies grew in synchronization with each other. That can't explain the JWST's findings, but new research might.
