Most astronomers believe that the most likely explanation of the tremendous energy output from quasars and their relatively small size is that quasars are powered by the release of gravitational energy from material falling into a massive black hole. The evidence that black holes inhabit the centers of massive galaxies is increasing.

i feel that quasars are our only true current way of viewing into the past of our universe. because they are so far away, it takes the light billions of lightyears to reach us. that means that by the time it takes for us to see it, they might already be long gone. and this also means that what we are seing is something that happened a long time ago.
