Why didn't you read the article?
> By ruling out a number of alternative solutions, the results strongly support the idea that supermassive black holes started out with considerable masses from the get-go, in astronomy lingo: that they are "primordial" or "seeded large." Supermassive black holes did not form from the remnants of early stars, then grew massive very fast. They must have formed early with initial masses of at least a hundred thousand solar masses, presumably via the collapse of massive early clouds of gas.
- henearkr 2y agoThanks. I thought I had read it, your quote is in the very end of it. The whole remain of the article, from the title, keeps on saying it's "inexplicable", so I had skimmed it and wondered why they have so little imagination.
