Detecting exploding primordial black holes from the universe’s first second may unveil new physics.

In that moment, pockets of hot material may have been dense enough to form black holes, potentially with masses ranging from 100,000 times less than a paperclip to 100,000 times more than the sun’s, according to scientists.

Then, as the universe quickly expanded and cooled, the conditions for forming black holes this way ended.

Scientists are now claiming that PBHs may be heating up and exploding throughout the universe.
