Preliminary evidence, he says, suggests that is the case. Other processes in the feedback cycle also need to be understood. For example, there is still no consensus on how the gas falling into a massive black hole produces energetic jets, or how they inhibit cooling in the remaining gas.
This is not the end of the story, but it is an important insight into a problem that has proved a lot more difficult than anyone ever anticipated. This article is published in collaboration with MIT News. Publication does not imply endorsement of views by the World Economic Forum.

Why is Mars so important for humanity? The team analyzed nine years of Fermi data containing the light from more than blazars and one gamma ray burst and found that the rays were getting weaker as they traveled, plowing through the background light that fills the universe like headlights cutting through fog.
The thicker the fog, the dimmer the headlights, so comparing blazars near and far revealed the brightness of the interfering background light. And since the gamma rays took billions of years to get here, the team could also see the background light as it appeared throughout the past. It would glow with the brightness of a watt light bulb viewed from 2.
Its dimness speaks to a classic paradox in cosmology: Stars formed slowly at first and then faster and faster until peaking about three to four billion years after the big bang, and then falling off as star-stuff ran low and galaxies moved farther apart. Their work builds on decades of theoretical estimates and both ground- and space-based attempts to catch the photons directly. But with light from the sun bouncing off local dust particles outnumbering the background light to 1, it was like hunting for fireflies at noon.
