Tiny Black Holes May Have Left Tunnels in Earth's Rocks
Scientists propose a bold hypothesis: primordial black holes, formed in the early universe, might have traversed Earth's rocks, leaving behind microscopic tunnels invisible to the naked eye. While these tunnels are minuscule, powerful microscopes might detect them, offering a potential pathway to discovering these elusive objects. Researchers suggest that searching for these tunnels, despite the low probability of success, could yield immense rewards. Furthermore, they hypothesize that primordial black holes might lurk inside certain planets, hollowing them out by consuming their liquid cores. This research offers a novel approach to finding primordial black holes, representing a significant step forward in exploring the origins of the universe.
