Primordial Black Holes

An unusual gravitational wave signal detected by LIGO has reignited interest in primordial black holes as a potential explanation for dark matter. Confirmation of this signal could address a major astronomical mystery by linking these theoretical objects to the nature of dark matter.

Researchers may have detected ripples in spacetime, offering the first evidence of tiny black holes formed in the Big Bang. These primordial black holes could explain dark matter's distribution through clustering patterns.
