LIGO May Have Detected The First Primordial Black Hole, Scientists Say
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are particularly special types of black hole, thought to have been formed from dense pockets of subatomic matter within a second after the Big Bang – and a new study reports on what could be the first direct observation of one.
American researchers have used LIGO, an instrument capable of detecting gravitational waves, to collect data that may prove the existence of black holes formed in the moments after the Big Bang.
They have been theoretical for decades, but a recent study may well change the situation. Astrophysicists from Miami University claim to have identified, thanks to the LIGO Observatory, a gravitational signal compatible with the presence of a primordial black hole — an entity supposedly born in the first second following the Big Bang. If the confirmation ... Read more The article First primordial black hole detected by LIGO: a discovery that cou…
