00:00Scientists have just made a mind-blowing discovery—a supermassive black hole, 12.9 billion light-years away, firing a jet of energy straight at us.
00:09This blazar, named J0400 and 10139, has traveled through time, carrying secrets from the early universe.
00:17But here's the shocking part.
00:19Its existence suggests a hidden population of blazars from the universe's infancy, challenging everything we know about black hole growth.
00:27With its light taking 12.9 billion years to reach us, this blazar offers a rare window into the past,
00:33helping scientists understand the rapid growth of cosmic monsters just after the Big Bang.
00:38Researchers believe that energetic jets like these play a crucial role in supermassive black hole formation,
00:44accelerating their growth far faster than we ever imagined.
00:47This means that the early universe may have been filled with hidden blazars, each shaping the cosmos in ways we are only beginning to understand.
00:56This discovery isn't just rare.
00:58It's a cosmic jackpot that could redefine our understanding of black holes and the forces shaping the universe.
01:04What else is lurking in the vast depths of space, waiting to be found?
