The universe was just not old enough to make a black hole that big. It's very puzzling.

you could never make something with 800 million solar masses—it's unrealistic," Simcoe says. "So there must be another way that it formed. And how exactly that happens, nobody knows."

LOL! Another conundrum for the merger maniacs to reconcile. They keep piling up more and more rapidly. Yet, no amount of evidence will shake the maniac from his distorted world view. Long live the Huge Bang Fantasy!

Look, simply tired light explains how such a massive object could be mistaken for such an extreme distance; the light climbing out of a deep gravity well is red shifted. That the subtle effect cannot be measured in the lab by current instrumentation does not mean it does not exist. LaViolette's SQK predicts the effect, together with blue shifting observed in planetary fly-bys. But go on, ignore the evidence! Ignorance is blissful!

LOL is correct! It is quite the epic faerie tale they spew. It is all just the fanciful pontifications of the plasma ignoramuses. It would be comical if it weren't such a tremendous waste of resources, time, and effort. And amusingly they got published writing about an amazing failure of their pet guesses. Science? Not even close. It's not even worthy to call it sci-fi.

And to think every star in that galaxy is 690 million years old or younger i call bullshit evidence that space is older than our construction this galaxy was born in another part of space and travelled here over 10s of billions of years to be in our area

First and foremost: the big bang is a big scam, great mischief, big nonsense, a lot of ignorance and ignorance of logic and natural laws, and especially this is the great intention of the "tycoon of science" to catch as much as possible in the field of his "dark" stories and theories. ignorant in order to declare themselves to be "the creator of the universe"
All of the evidence presented here is proof that these researchers do not know anything about themselves or their origin and possibilities, even though we are the last patent of the Creator of the universe, and some want to make their Creator fake and nonexistent.

Science does not know the closed cycles of the origin and disappearance of matter and therefore cares for the appearance of the phenomenon. In them, hydrogen formed before quarks, gluons, and light came by accident, because they do not know anything about it. An international tribunal should be formed to judge those "scientific magicians" who pollute our knowledge and awareness and instigate civilization to ignore the existence of the Spiritual Entity of the universe. They do not know what the quasar is and how it is created.
What will they say when they make a telescope that can reveal something, there behind their "deity BB"?

The formation of such massive black holes such a short time after the BB indicates that there is something going on we don't yet fully understand. Either accretion is much faster in the Dark Ages or there are primordial black holes, or perhaps both.

Don't yet fully understand??? You don't have a clue! You give yourself far too much credit! Because otherwise, you will look rather foolish, to put it mildly. LOL. Pure fantasy speculation!

Amazing discovery.

Since pair-formation can eventually supply the required (and supersymmetric) amount of matter to populate the universe, without the artificial age constraint of expansion (BB) theory, the existance of highly developed cosmological structures at the supposed time of the big bang is no surprise.
