The discovery in recent years by gravity wave detectors of dozens of merging binary black holes with masses much greater than one solar mass, when taken with the known population of black holes raises the possibility that it may not be possible to explain their all their origins and growth by credible accretion mechanisms. This paper offers an alternative perspective; that black holes can increase their mass by a quantum process linked to the acceleration of distant matter. Also, the idea that dark matter is predominantly composed of black holes in strongly supported. A testable equation  M / M  = 2 H  for the fractional rate of production of dark matter inside a large region of space with radius  r  and mass  M ( r ), where  H  is the Hubble Constant, is presented. A mechanism to produce early supermassive black holes is proposed.

Is accretion alone enough to explain the mass spectrum of black holes?
