A new theoretical study suggests innovative methods to detect primordial black holes, proposing that these elusive objects could leave signatures such as hollow planetoids in space or microscopic tunnels in earthly materials. The research, co-led by the University at Buffalo, highlights the potential of these low-cost methods to advance our understanding of dark matter, despite the low probability of detection. The study emphasizes the need for creative approaches in the field of astrophysics, as traditional methods have yet to yield direct evidence of primordial black holes.

Emergent gravity, a theory suggesting gravity is an emergent property rather than a fundamental force, has faced challenges in explaining cosmic phenomena like dark matter. While it offers an innovative perspective by linking gravity to thermodynamics and quantum information, it has struggled to match the predictive power of general relativity and dark matter models. Despite its current shortcomings, emergent gravity remains a valuable concept for exploring new physics, potentially leading to future breakthroughs in understanding the universe.
