To birth a black hole from a clump of dark matter, the right shape is needed — a broad hill, not a sharp peak.

Giant black holes in the early Universe could have been born not from stars, but directly from clumps of dark matter. But only if those clumps had the right broad shape — like a gentle hill, not a sharp peak. This scenario explains where supermassive black holes came from just a billion years after the Big Bang.

🎯 The very first black holes were born not from dying stars, but directly from invisible dark matter. Gravity triggered their collapse — and for that, just the right 'hilly' shape was enough.
