Primordial black holes are hypothetical black holes thought to have formed moments after the Big Bang. Because they supposedly formed about 14 billion years ago, and black holes are thought to ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

The universe has already formed most of its stars and may fade into darkness, but leftover matter could one day trigger a new cosmic explosion.

Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have made a bold prediction: there is a more than 90% probability that our telescopes could witness a black hole explode within the next 10 years.

Astronomers have uncovered the most powerful explosion in cosmic history, a blast fifty times stronger than the combined energy of every star in the observable universe. This documentary explores how ...
