JWST spots giant black holes all over the early universe
Can someone who really knows this stuff clarify my understanding?I've been given to understand that black holes remain a physics theory that has not been directly observed or proven.I thought that we had a fair amount of observational evidence that suggests their existence, but no "smoking gun" proof of it, and that these types of "observed a black hole" articles are a little misleading - that in reality, what was observed was much indirect, interpreted data that is consistent with black hole theory, but could also be something else.Am I off base here?
