Supermassive black holes that seem too large to exist in the early universe may have grown from primordial black holes formed ...

In an extraordinary revelation, scientists suggest that miniature black holes—possibly smaller than the size of an atom—could ...

A big population of small black holes could have flooded the young cosmos with particles and radiation, creating their own black hole-powered Big Bang, physicists say. Skip to main content.

According to astrophysicists Charles Keeton and Arlie Petters, black holes aren't always huge, distant monsters-some might be as small as atoms and could be lurking closer than you think.

The MIT researchers determined, through modeling, that these tiny black holes may have formed from pockets of dense matter that collapsed on themselves immediately following the Big Bang.

But the black holes would have speeds of about 200 kilometers per second and come from outside the solar system. That’s rare for space rocks ( SN: 9/12/19 ).

Tiny Black Holes Could Have Left Tunnels Inside Earth’s Rocks The research team says it’s time to “think outside the box” since nothing else is working.

Researchers at MIT suggest that the microscopic "primordial black holes" could be blasting through our solar system — at a rate of at least once every decade. These tiny black holes could be ...

To find black holes we usually have to look thousands of light-years away. But a new study suggests we could find evidence of them right here on Earth, as tiny tunnels they’ve carved out in ...

How tiny black holes would behave inside the sun, Earth – and us. In this episode of Dead Planets Society, our hosts place primordial black holes in a variety of objects with surprising results.

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 ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...
