La fin de l'âge sombre était-elle le fait des premières étoiles, dont la lumière intense aurait progressivement arraché les électrons de l'hydrogène dans un processus dit de réionisation? Ou l'énergie nécessaire pour la réionisation avait-elle été apportée par le rayonnement que libérait le gaz chaud englouti par les trous noirs?
