Scientists name new ‘object’ SDSS J0100+2802 and say it is 12.8bn light years from Earth and was formed just 900m years after the Big Bang
The extraordinary object is at the centre of a quasar – an intensely powerful galactic radiation source – with a million billion times the sun’s energy output.
For years the nature of quasars, discovered in 1963, remained a mystery. Today scientists believe they are generated by matter heating up as it is dragged into supermassive black holes at the centre of distant galaxies.
The new object, named SDSS J0100+2802, is 12.8bn light years from Earth and was formed just 900m years after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe.
Astronomers cannot explain how such an enormous black hole could have formed so early in cosmic history, soon after the first stars and galaxies emerged.
Dr Fuyan Bian, from the Australian National University, a member of the international team, said: “Forming such a large black hole so quickly is hard to interpret with current theories …
The existence of black holes is purely theoretical — no black hole has ever been seen. That’s because they don’t exist. Neither does dark matter or dark energy.
Actually Black holes are super condensed dark matter, and yes they do exist…
Yes they do exist. and they are made of super condensed dark matter…
