New model suggests black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter and early universe observations

A new theoretical model proposes that black holes formed before the Big Bang could account for the universe's dark matter. This model also offers potential explanations for puzzling observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope, which has detected unexpectedly massive objects, including 'little red dots,' in the early Universe. These findings suggest that if massive black holes existed immediately after the universe's 'bounce,' the early cosmos would not have needed to start from scratch in forming the first galaxies.
