00:03you have probably heard of supermassive black holes or black holes that are almost unfathomably big
00:09however a discovery made by astronomers back in 2011 has had them scratching their heads ever since
00:14because it's so big it's unexplainable the black hole is named j1120 plus 0641 and they say it's
00:22more than a billion times the mass of our sun the black hole came into existence only 770 million
00:29years after the big bang what's puzzling physicists is that black holes have a limit of how quickly
00:34they can consume material called the eddington limit when black holes exceed this accretion speed they
00:39begin to shine so brightly that their radiation repels material they can for a short time exceed
00:44this limit but that doesn't seem to be the case with j1120 plus 0641 using the james webb telescope
00:50experts have been analyzing this incredibly sized black hole but their conclusion is that aside from
00:55its extreme size it's extremely normal their best guess at the moment is that when this black hole
00:59first popped into existence it was seeded by a mysteriously supermassive source
