Astronomers challenge 50-year-old quasar law
Phys.org • 11/28/2025 – 12/14/2025
Summary
An international team of astronomers has found compelling evidence suggesting that the structure of matter surrounding supermassive black holes has evolved over cosmic time, challenging a 50-year-old quasar law, according to Phys.org. This discovery indicates significant changes in the environment of these black holes throughout the universe's history.
