Did scientists just detect an exploding black hole?

A detected high-energy neutrino beneath the Mediterranean Sea could be the first observed sign of an evaporating primordial black hole, testing Stephen Hawking's theories and potentially explaining dark matter.

On Feb. 13, 2023, a cosmic bullet of sorts zipped beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily. It was a subatomic particle known as a neutrino, traveling through the depths at virtually the speed of light and carrying a whopping 220 peta-electron volts of energy. Its presence was detected by a new underwater observatory known as the Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope, or KM3NeT.
