The water measurement, together with measurements of other molecules in the vapor source, suggests there is enough gas present for the black hole to grow to about six times its already massive size, said Bradford. Whether it will grow to this size is not clear, however, as some of the gas may end up forming stars instead, or be ejected from the quasar host galaxy in an outflow.
How do we know its still there, this stuff is "stranger than we can imagine"
I agree. We don't know. A lot of things can happen over the course of 12 billion years. We're just seeing the light from it as it was 12 billion years ago.
The earth didn't exist until approximately 4.6 billion years ago.
