Did the celestial dance begin with the formation of stars and galaxies, gradually giving rise to black holes? Alternatively, did black holes exist before the inaugural galaxies made their cosmic debut? As the primordial matter cooled and coalesced after the Big Bang, it unfolded into the structures and entities that shaped the universe over its extensive 13.8 billion year history. These entities, observed today as stars within gravitational bound systems called galaxies, orbit a central supermassive black hole. According to conventional wisdom, stars and galaxies dominate this cosmic narrative. However, a recent review of early universe data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope suggests a paradigm shift. This suggests that black holes and galaxies did not follow a sequential order but emer...
