We May Have Seen a Special Kind of Black Hole Explode, Study Claims

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in nature it came from.

‘Impossible’ Neutrino Detected In 2023 May Be Debris From Exploding Primordial Black Hole

In 2023, astronomers detected an extraordinarily energetic subatomic particle striking Earth — a finding that left scientists puzzled because no known cosmic phenomenon could explain its immense energy. Now, a team of researchers has put forward a bold theory: the mysterious particle may be the remnant of an exploding primordial black hole, a hypothetical object formed moments after the Big Bang. If confirmed, the discovery could mark the first …

Impossible Neutrino Detected on Earth May Come From an Exploding Primordial Black Hole

A mysterious neutrino detected in 2023 may be debris from an exploding primordial black hole. Scientists say the ultra-energetic particle defies known cosmic sources and could represent Hawking radiation, offering rare insight into early-universe physics and the possible nature of dark matter while challenging theories of black holes and cosmology.

This mysterious particle may be proof that black holes can explode

In 2023, physicists detected something that should not have existed: a single subatomic particle called a neutrino carrying an almost unimaginable amount of energy. This particle slammed into Earth with roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything ever produced by the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful machine humans have built. No known object in […] The post This mysterious particle may be proof that black holes can explode appeared f…

Did we see a black hole explode? If so, it could explain a lot

Did we just see a black hole explode? UMass Amherst’s physicists think so. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to imagining small primordial black holes.

An “impossible” ultra-high-energy neutrino – detected in 2023 – might have come from the explosion of a tiny primordial black …

Primordial Black Hole Blast May Explain Extreme 2023 Neutrino

In 2023, a neutrino with an extremely high energy level was recorded by the KM3NeT observatory in the Mediterranean Sea. The particle carried an energy around one hundred thousand times greater than the energies produced in particle accelerators on Earth. KM3NeT detected the event through a burst of Cherenkov light produced when the particle interacted […] The post Primordial Black Hole Blast May Explain Extreme 2023 Neutrino appeared first on A…
