In effect, an exploding black hole, like the Big Bang itself, would be the ultimate particle collider, revealing hitherto unknown aspects of nature’s repertoire that could account for the dark matter.

A neutrino slammed into Earth in 2023 with so much energy that it looked almost unreal. The particle carried about 220 peta–electron volts, or PeV, making it the most energetic neutrino ever reported.

DENVER — Tiny, exploding black holes might explain one of the biggest mysteries about how the universe, in its current form, came to be. In the cosmos, matter is much more common than antimatter. But ...

Physicists think we could see such an explosion in the next 10 years - and it would 'revolutionize physics and rewrite the history of the universe'. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to ...
