The "little red dots" discovered by the JWST may not be black holes but rather jets of pre-matter

From its very first images, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided observations that contradict widely accepted theories regarding the early stages of the observable universe: an unexpectedly high number of galaxies, far too large and appearing far too early, mature spiral galaxies that emerged much sooner than anticipated, and also black holes that are also far too large and appeared much too early, some of these, often referred to as "little red dots" due to their appearance, would be supermassive black holes very much like those known to exist at the heart of all galaxies. These JWST observations align with hypotheses formulated over the past three decades, which posit that black holes are not "holes" that swallow matter, but rather sources from which "pre-matter" emerges. This pre-matter emits no radiation, which is why it is typically termed "dark matter", and gradually transforms into observable matter. This hypothesis makes it possible for the early emergence of numerous spiral galaxies, as it implies that the matter constituting these galaxies began to take shape long before the Big Bang which, in this view, marks the moment when invisible pre-matter began its transformation into radiant matter.

Abstract

From its very first images, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided observations that contradict widely accepted theories regarding the early stages of the observable universe: an unexpectedly high number of galaxies, far too large and appearing far too early, mature spiral galaxies that emerged much sooner than anticipated, and also black holes that are also far too large and appeared much too early, some of these, often referred to as "little red dots" due to their appearance, would be supermassive black holes very much like those known to exist at the heart of all galaxies. These JWST observations align with hypotheses formulated over the past three decades, which posit that black holes are not "holes" that swallow matter, but rather sources from which "pre-matter" emerges. This pre-matter emits no radiation, which is why it is typically termed "dark matter", and gradually transforms into observable matter. This hypothesis makes it possible for the early emergence of numerous spiral galaxies, as it implies that the matter constituting these galaxies began to take shape long before the Big Bang which, in this view, marks the moment when invisible pre-matter began its transformation into radiant matter.
