It is argued that the data presented by Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, that seem to be at odds with the canonical big bang cosmology, find simple explanation if galaxy formation is seeded by massive primordial black holes (PBH), as anticipated in 1993 (A. Dolgov and J. Silk, later DS). The statement that the galaxy formation might be seeded by PBH is now rediscovered in several works. The predicted by DS log-normal mass spectrum of PBHs very well agrees with astronomical data. Abundant BH population of the Galaxy with masses of the order of tens solar masses is predicted. Extended mass spectrum of PBH together with their possible clustering allows them to make 100\% contribution into the cosmological dark matter. Another prediction of DS mechanism on noticeable amount of antimatter in the Milky Way also seems to be confirmed by the data.

  1. Dark Secrets of Baryons: Illuminating Dark Matter-Baryon Interactions with JWST

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0

    JWST ultraviolet luminosity function data currently provide the strongest upper limits on velocity-dependent (∝v^{-2}) dark matter–proton scattering for sub-GeV dark matter.

  2. Evolution of Size, Mass, and Density of Galaxies Since Cosmic Dawn

    physics.gen-ph 2025-10 reject novelty 4.0

    Under the author's CCC+TL cosmology, galaxy effective radii are larger by roughly (1+z)^0.93, reducing the inferred density and mass of early galaxies.
