Dark matter kept hydrogen from cooling long enough for gravity to condense it into clouds big and dense enough to turn into black holes instead of stars.

The James Webb Space Telescope is finding supermassive black holes not that long after the Big Bang .

The finding lends support for the existence of a kind of dark matter capable of decaying into particles such as photons.

If dark matter decays, the photons it emits keep the hydrogen gas hot enough for gravity to gather it into giant clouds and condense it into a supermassive black hole.

The finding lends support for the existence of a kind of dark matter capable of decaying into particles such as photons.

Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form.
