A study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics has proven a new theory regarding the formation of “primordial” microblack holes, according to which they were not formed only at the beginning of the universe, as they could actually arise through the explosive death of stars.
The concept of primordial black holes was initially proposed by famous physicist Stephen Hawking, who hypothesized that these tiny black holes would be too small to be detected due to their particles being emitted at a slow rate.
However, a recent study challenges this idea and suggests that small black holes can form in the wake of stellar explosions. This discovery has important implications for our understanding of the universe, and may change many previous beliefs and theories. It means that black holes may exist not only in distant regions of the universe, but also within our solar system.
The researchers suggest that these small, newly formed black holes could be captured by newly forming stars, including our Sun. The idea is that these tiny black holes arose during the first second after the Big Bang and could contribute to the Sun’s luminosity by accreting inside the core of our star. This accumulation will release a continuous stream of energy, causing the sun to shine and become hot.
