#2 In physical cosmology, the age of the universe is the time elapsed since the Big Bang. Astronomers have derived two different measurements of the age of the universe:[1] a measurement based on direct observations of an early state of the universe, which indicate an age of 13.787±0.020 billion years as interpreted with the Lambda-CDM concordance model as of 2021;[2] - wiki

They revealed the identification of the most ancient black hole ever observed, estimated to be 13 billion years old, actively consuming its host galaxy. - the article

So, you telling me that the object is as old as the universe, but it took time to form the galaxy its is consuming let alone form itself. I'm no Einstein, but your numbers don't add up. We won't even get into the trigonometry of the Big Band departure point, the time of our journey to this point to see the light emitting and when that light departed the observed object and how long it took for it to reach it's development and emission point thereof.

#3 I don’t know much about astronomy, but I think it would be appropriate to name the world’s brightest object after Hunter.
