Supermassive black holes bent the laws of physics to grow to monstrous sizes

Scientists have found evidence that black holes that existed less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang may have defied the laws of physics to grow to monstrous sizes.

The discovery could solve one of the most pressing mysteries in space science: How did supermassive black holes in the early universe grow so big, so fast? Evidence came from a link between the shape of the X-ray spectrum emitted by these quasars and the speeds of powerful winds of matter that blow from them.

Zappacosta : "I would say we hit the jackpot!" The research was published on Wednesday ( Nov. 20 ) in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics .

"The results we are obtaining are truly unexpected, and all point to a super Eddington -type growth mechanism for black holes," he says.
