Beyond being mere cosmic vacuum cleaners, supermassive black holes at galactic centers play a crucial role in galaxy formation and evolution. Their powerful jets and radiation, collectively known as active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback, can regulate star formation and gas distribution within their host galaxies.

Supporting arguments
- Observed correlations between black hole mass and galaxy bulge properties (e.g., M-sigma relation).
- Evidence of powerful jets and outflows from active galactic nuclei impacting surrounding gas clouds.
