Supermassive Black Holes Might Not Be That Massive

WooGlobe

Scientists just made a shocking discovery — supermassive black holes might be 10 times smaller than we thought! :milky_way: Using a powerful new tool called GRAVITY+, researchers measured a black hole 12 billion light-years away and found it's nowhere near the size earlier methods predicted. This breakthrough could completely change what we know about black holes, galaxy growth, and the early universe. Could our entire model of cosmic evolution be wrong? Watch to find out!

00:00What if the universe's biggest monsters weren't that big after all?

00:04Scientists just found out we've been overestimating supermassive black holes.

00:08A new study reveals that black holes at the center of young galaxies

00:12might be ten times smaller than we thought.

00:14Researchers used a powerful tool called gravity to weigh one 12 billion light-years away,

00:20and what they found shocked them.

00:22It turns out earlier methods fooled us.

00:25Why?

00:26Because some black holes shoot out intense jets of gas and light,

00:30tricking our instruments into thinking they were way more massive.

00:33This discovery doesn't just shrink black holes.

00:36It could rewrite what we know about galaxy formation and the early universe.

00:40If black holes grew slower than we thought,

00:42our entire model of cosmic evolution may need an update.

00:46So next time you hear supermassive black hole, just remember,

00:49they might not be so supermassive after all.
