  1. >Currently, scientists do not have a complete picture of how the first black holes formed not long after the Big Bang. It is known that supermassive black holes, that can weigh more than a billion suns, exist at the center of several galaxies less than a billion years after the Big Bang.

    I wonder if these primordial black holes were “squeezed” into existence from the anisotropy of big bang nucleosynthesis. Perhaps some dense regions of the hot big bang had some uniform pressure responsible for compressing regions of gas into their Schwarzschild radius.

  2. Big Bang just seems like a primitive concept, like the “ether”. Just a convenient explanation, not actually what occurred.
