- Tiny black holes may be secretly exploding stars across the Milky Way
Primordial black holes may pass through white dwarf stars, triggering Type Ia supernova explosions. These events could explain chemical patterns observed in supernova remnants, nearby explosions, and stars across the Milky Way.
- A strange LIGO signal could reveal the missing link behind dark matter
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.
- Ripples in spacetime may have revealed 1st evidence of tiny black holes born in the Big Bang
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.
