Supermassive black holes in 'little red dot' galaxies are 1,000 times larger than they should be, and astronomers don't know why

Because they are overachievers?

Bigger than they “should be”? Hmmm…

You should be HAPPY that they are ONLY 10,000 times bigger than they should be.

Can you imagine what it'd be like if there were 20,000 times bigger! There'd surely be hell to pay.

And, if they were 100,000x bigger, OMG we'd really be screwed!

Clearly, this is a problem that even a lot more taxes won't solve.

I still wonder if some of the light we are looking at hasn’t circled back on itself.

It’s been demonstrated that light’s path is impacted by gravity and therefore “curves”. If this is true as documented then light should have an orbit and therefore eventually circle back on itself.

The question then becomes which cycle of light are we looking at and not how far away is it.

Not an active theory, but one that I don’t think has been assessed.

That’s no black hole. That’s a space station!

Do teachers still write “Check your work!” on tests and homework papers?

I’d start there.

They don’t know why?

It’s simple, those things are hotter than expected because you are wrong about some other things. Get to work on that.

Whoa! You’re getting pretty far out on that limb, there! Careful.

Great. Now I have to consider circled back light in my thoughts.

They might be exactly the right size as God deems them to be.

Don’t worry if you can’t explain it. God is on it.

What came first, a black hole or a galaxy?

My simple logic is a black hole forms first and draws in surrounding matter to create a galaxy.
