Note this hasn't happened yet, but I really want it to

@LivInTheLookingGlass How come? Knowing nothing about this, what would be so special about this discovery?

@Charlie Because it would confirm a lot about the early universe. It would validate our theories that they must have been extremely large and short-lived, or it would give us a new mystery. It would shed lights into how plausible it is that lots of black holes were born then. There are some heavy elements in the early universe that we can't account for well otherwise. It's a bunch of things like this

I think PBS Space Time talks about this better than I do, though
