MOST LUMINOUS QUASAR. “The measured Eddington ratio of 0.4 places SMSS J2157 within the typical distribution of luminous quasars, implying that the extreme nature of its luminosity is a consequence of its extraordinarily high BH mass.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn

DOORWAY. “High-luminosity quasars offer important windows into the densest concentrations of baryons at high redshift, as they are likely to reside in well-developed galaxies.” https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn

UNIKE PHYSICS. “Molecular biology is unquestionably a highly theoretical field or group of fields. It is safe to say that molecular biologists deal in large part with distinctly theoretical entities. Yet, I hold, controversially, the view that molecular biology contains no centrally unifying theory.” https://lnkd.in/eHuXs6h9 View in LinkedIn

THE INVENTORY. “Up to ~40 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of >10(9) M⊙ have been observed till date, which are believed to power the optically bright quasars (>10(47) erg s−1) observed at z > 5.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

UNRESOLVED. “The connection between the rapid growth of the first supermassive black holes and the fast chemical evolution of the host galaxy is one of the most puzzling issues for theoretical models.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURAL PRECURSORS. “Homologues to both Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas have been identified in nonhuman primate brains. Exactly what function they play in other species is not currently known, but an evolutionary perspective would predict that they likely process information in ways that would be useful to language.” https://lnkd.in/dvz_XvBp View in LinkedIn

12 BN YEAR OLD STRUCTURES. “In addition, the interstellar medium of the galaxies hosting these black holes are observed to be chemically mature systems, with metallicities (Z > Z⊙) and dust masses (>10(8) M⊙) similar to that of more evolved, local galaxies.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

MULTIFUNCTIONAL. “Language processing does not appear to be highly compartmentalized into unique circuits independent of those serving other behavioral functions but instead depends heavily on the integration of a large number of abilities that are processed in widely dispersed circuits across the brain.” https://lnkd.in/dvz_XvBp View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT GIANT BLACK HOLES. “Observations of the most luminous quasars at redshift z > 6 reveal the existence of numerous supermasssive black holes (>19(9)M⊙) already in place about 12 billion years ago.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn
