Black hole caught zapping galaxy into existence?

Which come first, the supermassive black holes that frantically devour matter or the enormous galaxies where they reside? A brand new scenario has emerged from a recent set of outstanding observations of a black hole without a home: black holes may be “building” their own host galaxy. This could be the long-sought missing link to understanding why the masses of black holes are larger in galaxies that contain more stars.

We all know that common sense will prevail and the host galaxy will be discovered when better methods of detection become available.   :lol:
