A Signal From Before the Stars

On 12 November 2025, LIGO picked up a gravitational wave signal that stopped astronomers in their tracks. The object that produced it was too small to be any known type of black hole, smaller in fact, than our own Sun. If confirmed, it would be something that has never been directly detected before, a primordial black hole forged in the violent chaos of the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Now two astrophysicists believe they can e…

Scientists detect mysterious signal that could confirm primordial black holes

A strange signal from space may be offering a clue to one of the biggest mysteries in science. Researchers from the University of Miami believe they may be getting closer to proving the existence of primordial black holes—tiny but powerful objects that may have formed just moments after the Big Bang. Primordial black holes are […] The post Scientists detect mysterious signal that could confirm primordial black holes appeared first on Knowridge S…
