Overmassive black holes from the early Universe - too big for the galaxies that they inhabit.

Super-Eddington accretion phase is defined by extreme (mass inflow) rates exceeding the so-called classical "Eddington Limit".

It's like seeing a family walking down the street, and they have two six-foot teenagers, but they also have with them a six-foot-tall toddler. That's a bit of a problem. How did the toddler get so tall? And it's the same for supermassive black holes in the universe. How did they get so massive so quickly?

A black hole 'feeding frenzy' could help explain a cosmic mystery uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope

"It is exciting to think that Little Red Dots may represent the first direct observational evidence of the birth of the most massive black holes in the universe."
