Part 4/14:
The significance of these high-redshift sources cannot be overstated. They suggest the existence of luminous objects formed much earlier than established models predicted. One leading hypothesis posits these could be primordial black holes—black holes formed moments after the Big Bang. The presence of such black holes could illuminate the early universe, hinting at exotic physics that might even involve gateways to other universes. The implications extend into speculative but profoundly provocative territory, suggesting that the universe's earliest moments may have been far more dynamic and energetic than the standard cosmological model allows.
