The international team led by astronomers from Peking University in China and from the University of Arizona have discovered a supermassive black hole.
The recently discovered black hole is 12 billion times the mass of our sun pumping out a million billion times the energy of our Sun. They believe it may have been formed after the first stars and galaxies emerged after the Big Bang gave birth to our universe.

Recent discovery has puzzled the scientist as 'How could something so massive and luminous form so early in the universe, only 900 million years after the Big Bang?' Scientists cannot explain how the newly found black hole grew so quickly, Reuters has written.
“How can a quasar so luminous, and a black hole so massive, form so early in the history of the universe, at an era soon after the earliest stars and galaxies have just emerged?,” Xiaohui Fan, Regents' Professor of Astronomy at the UA's Steward Observatory said as quoted by Science Daily.
Scientists said this supermassive black hole was formed about 900 million years after the Big Bang.

Black holes are nothing more than super condensed dark matter… and yes the mass of it causes extreme gravity and possibly time displacement… And the super geniuses at C.E.R.N. want to create dark matter…
How does a Black Hole get that big….Simple….By consuming other smaller Black Holes….They are at the center of every Universe and they are the engine that drives it… Andromeda will consume the Milky way someday…
