Primordial black holes, formed shortly after the Big Bang, may pass through our solar system every decade, according to recent research. These black holes, much smaller and lighter than typical ones, could cause minor gravitational disruptions that scientists could detect. Researchers suggest that tracking these disruptions may help understand dark matter, an elusive substance believed to make up most of the universe’s mass. While dark matter remains a mystery, some scientists propose that primordial black holes may account for a significant part of it. What Are Primordial Black Holes? Primordial black holes are thought to be as small as a hydrogen atom and much lighter than our Sun. Sarah Geller, a theoretical physicist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, explained that these black holes might have formed due to density fluctuations in the early universe. Although these black holes are incredibly small, their gravitational pull is still significant. Unlike stellar-mass black holes, they do not emit detectable light, making them harder to find.
