Did monster black holes or galaxies come first? The James Webb Space Telescope may have a surprise answer

A reanaly first f data from the James Webb Space Telescop Technically supermassive black holes were present during the first 50 million years of our 13.8 billion-year-old universe.

The findings could challenge the idea that black holes formed only after the first stars and galaxies emerged.

If true, that'd mean our current theories of how galaxies grew may need revision.

JWST could provide more accurate early star and supermassive black hole counts that will confirm the new theory.
