-

According to the leading one of scientists’ four new theories, huge gas clouds collapse into medium-sized black holes some 270 million years after the Big Bang. These "seed" holes weigh up to two million solar masses, and by merging with a galaxy, the holes can grow into monsters in a few hundred million years.

In the young universe, 1 gravity attracts gases to produce a large disc of gas in a galaxy without any stars.
