Spacetime 'Crystals' Could Collapse Into Tiny Black Holes, Wild Paper Explains
The formula builds on 1993 simulations and gives an analytic description of critical collapse, where a tiny energy input can form microscopic black holes.

When Spacetime Crystallises, a Black Hole is Born
Physicists have thought for decades that microscopic black holes can theoretically emerge not from exploding stars but from delicate "critical states" in which space and time organise themselves into a crystal like structure. Now, for the first time, researchers from TU Wien and Goethe University Frankfurt have derived an exact mathematical formula describing this bizarre phenomenon using a surprising trick involving infinitely many dimensions!
Researchers from TU Wien and Goethe University Frankfurt have published a study proposing a new perspective on the formation of black holes, suggesting they may arise from the crystallization of spacetime. The research, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, presents a mathematical formula describing these theoretical objects. Research on black holes and spacetime crystallization: Traditionally, black holes are understood as resulting…
