One of the primary reasons is the potential link to dark matter. In effect, if PBHs can be proven to exist, there's a very good chance that they are what dark matter, the invisible thing that makes up 85% of the universe's mass, is made of. If proven, that would surely be a Nobel-level discovery in astrophysics.</description> <link>https://phys.org/news/2024-05-clever-ways-primordial-black-holes.html</link> <category>Astronomy </category> <pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2024 13:21:03 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">news634911661</guid> <media:thumbnail url="https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/tmb/2024/some-clever-ways-to-se.jpg" width="90" height="90" /> </item> <item> <title>Researchers chart Orion Nebula like never before</title> <description>Star and planet formation is a messy affair.
