After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

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 ...

One proposed component of dark matter is primordial black holes, created in the early universe without a collapsing star as a progenitor. The dark matter problem is a missing mass problem.

It was suggested this would create primordial black holes (PBHs) in an ample measure in the early universe. A black hole is an exotic cosmic object predicted by Einstein’s theory of General ...

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 ...

This novel quantum effect has important observable consequences for primordial black holes and the nature of dark matter, which we will now discuss. As of now, we know that there are two types of ...

Generally, two scenarios explain their formation. It is also possible that some black holes, called primordial, were formed by the collapse of primary matter during the first second after the Big Bang ...

AbstractAn exploding primordial black hole (PBH) may produce a single pulse of electromagnetic radiation detectable at the low-frequency end of the radio spectrum. Furthermore, a radio transient from ...

(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 ...

A radical hypothesis reimagines Planet Nine not as a planet but as a primordial black hole—compact, ancient, and immensely dense. Uncovering Planet Nine or a black hole would unravel cosmic ...

Current research includes primordial gravitational waves, precision measurement of black hole masses, binary and ejected massive black holes, astrometric cosmological probes, new physics from galaxy ...
