Primordial black holes could inhabit the modern-day cosmos, making them responsible for the phenomenon of dark matter, according to new research.

Primordial black holes are the earliest black holes thought to exist, and they vanished almost as fast as they came into being. As Stephen Hawking predicted, black holes don’t only draw particles in, ...

Primordial black holes (PBHs) could become captured by rocky planets and asteroids, where they may consume their liquid cores and leave them hollow, a team of physicists has suggested. In the ...

Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have also allowed many small black holes to form long before the first stars. These primordial black holes have been theorized for decades and ...

A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry ...

The researchers suggest that primordial black holes, hypothesized to have existed shortly after the Big Bang, might have emitted intense Hawking radiation, leaving detectable imprints on the ...

According to reports, primordial black holes that existed in the early universe could have evaporated through Hawking radiation, impacting matter distribution. The research explores how these ...

Not just any black hole, but a primordial black hole. Jakub Scholtz: Primordial black hole is a remnant from the Big Bang that came from a very dense region that almost instantly collapsed into a ...

(To our knowledge, tiny black holes cannot form today.) But would these "primordial" black holes still exist, roughly 14 billion years after the big bang? Surprisingly, the answer depends on the ...

ANDREWS REPLIES: To answer Scott: If Planet Nine is discovered, I’m confident a probe would eventually be sent to it! But after launch it might take decades for a spacecraft to reach that destination, ...

Evidence of Primordial Black Holes May Be Hiding in Planets, or Even Everyday Objects Here on Earth Dec. 2, 2024 — A theoretical study suggests that small black holes born in the early universe ...

In the extremely early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime. This makes them an interesting, if exotic, candidate for dark ...
