Comments on: Astronomers discover black holes were abundant among earliest stars /news/2013/06/14/astronomers-discover-black-holes-were-abundant-among-earliest-stars/ News from the University of Hawaii Thu, 15 Oct 2020 00:49:41 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry /news/2013/06/14/astronomers-discover-black-holes-were-abundant-among-earliest-stars/#comment-30067 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:02:40 +0000 http://www.hawaii.edu/news/?p=17514#comment-30067 This result is long-awaited… When I took Astrobiology 281 a year ago Spring, my motif was on the earliest-possible-appearance of mankind in the universe–and one ‘curious’ condition I discovered as I traced the scientific research [e.g. Nature 2010 Tacconi &a] was that the rate of galactic gas consumption projected-back left unexplained the first 35% stars…I tweaked it by certain assumptions on intergalactic gas, yet, the best I could squeeze left >5% of all stars appearing in a burst of what I now call ‘supernova chaining’ where early cosmic star formation was in dense ‘vacuum’ and each supernova shock-triggered hundreds more stars into existence in the pristine-hydrogen neighbor and 1-per-100 a giant to-be-supernova 10 million years later–which, at superunity for some eons, meant exponential-growth on my chart…And now we see them.

(What this may do to WMAP fine structure and Inflation Theory is tbd.)
