90% Chance: Physicists Predict a Black Hole Could Explode This Decade
UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially “revolutionizing physics and rewriting the history of the universe.” Physicists have long thought that black holes end their lives in rare explosions that occur, at most, once every 100,000 years. New research in Physical Review Letters from University of Massachusetts Amherst [...]
Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’ - WorldNL Magazine
It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction about black hole mergers. Now, another team believes they’ve found a way to observe primordial black holes—cosmic behemoths that emerged not from the ashes of dying stars but from the chaos of the early universe. In a paper published September 9 in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists make the bold prediction …
Black holes created directly after the Big Bang could explode much more often than expected. That's what a research group means and promises a lot.
"Our telescopic technologies already allow us to record such a phenomenon, if it occurs," the researchers say.
Researchers are soon expecting the explosion of a black hole. Why that is possible and what it means for physics. The post Will we soon see the first explosion of a black hole? appeared first on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
