      I was expecting it to be within the first few millions of years but the article says first fraction of a second. As a normie, this is brain-breaking stuff for me.

        I’ve always wondered why they wouldn’t form. Matter in the new universe was not evenly distributed after the big bang. Why shouldn’t some of these lumps have been massive enough to collapse into a black hole before inflation spread it all out?

        That is mind blowing! Icannot read apparently. I skimmed tue article and thought they were talking about the 700m years old one. I’ll leave the original comment to shame myself. 🤦‍♂️
