Primordial Black Holes: Hidden Threats Inside Planets and Earth

A new theoretical study suggests that primordial black holes (PBHs), tiny remnants from the Big Bang, could be tunneling through planets and even our bodies, potentially leaving microscopic traces. These PBHs are considered candidates for dark matter, but their minuscule size makes them hard to detect. Researchers propose looking for hollowed-out planets or ancient materials on Earth for evidence. Despite the low probability of PBHs interacting with matter, unconventional approaches may be key to solving longstanding physics mysteries like the nature of dark matter.
