Webb might detect if supermassive black holes form directly
One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions of times more than our sun, in galaxies that formed less than 750 million years after the Big Bang. They appear to have grown impossibly fast, challenging our understanding of how black holes form and evolve.
