Precocious supermassive black holes challenge theories

"NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has obtained definitive evidence that a distant quasar formed less than a billion years after the big bang contains a fully-grown supermassive black hole generating energy at the rate of 20 trillion suns".

It interests me how easily we accept what our scientists tell us. For instance, I believe this business about the supermassive black hole, although, buddy could just be making it up for all I know. Most people believe science as a matter of course, but many of the same people don't believe in art at all. I know people who absolutely can't cope with an abstract painting, but believe in quantum physics. You go figure.
