American researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that some primordial black holes rise above our solar system at least once every 10 years, affecting the change in the Earth’s orbit, obstructing the movement of planets and satellites, and thus changing the distances of the planets from the Sun or Earth over time.
Primordial black holes, which formed shortly after the Big Bang 12.8 billion years ago, are the size of a microbe and have the density of asteroids that could cause their orbits to be skewed.
The researchers calculated the distance required for a primitive black hole to approach a planet or moon in our solar system, in order to affect its movement and change its orbit, using a simulation system that includes the eight planets, 300 satellites such as moons, 1.3 million asteroids, and 4,000 comets, in addition to the primitive black holes. .
The team noted that if the mass of any asteroid approaches the Sun by only two astronomical units, the orbit of this asteroid or satellite will deviate by several metres. However, this change will not lead to the destruction of our planet.
