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

From missing links, to primordial beginnings, to extremely powerful plasma jets that could be shaping our universe in mysterious ways, here are the top 10 black hole discoveries that blew our minds ...

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.

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 ...

Recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that supermassive black holes were present much earlier than ...

Evidence, Theory and Constraints will be useful to those who wish to broaden or extend their research interests, for instance ...

Some monstrous black holes from the primordial Universe are capable of taking naps, as if after a heavy feast. This is not just a metaphor: observations from the James Webb Telescope reveal a black ...

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 ...

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 ...
