Could dark matter be made of black holes? New research suggests primordial black holes, tiny black holes formed just after the Big Bang, may explain part of the universe’s missing matter. In this video, we explore LIGO’s strange signal, Hawking radiation, monster neutrinos, and how these ancient black holes could even leave clues inside our own solar system.

Is the movie” How it ends” about this happening or hitting the earth??
Triggering tsunamis, earthquakes, power outages, volcanic eruptions etc. Basically the end of the world, if it was big enough? Would we even know what hit us or would we be in the dark and too late? This is mindblowing but also terrifying!
I don’t believe in the big bang
Science is not about belief. It’s about evidence. The Big Bang theory is backed by an overwhelming amount of empirical evidence.
Great video thank you for the education
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching! 😊
How do your videos get so few views when you have over 800,000 subscribers?
Exactly, that’s also my question.
Big bang dream😅
There everywhere.
When blackhole evaporate it becomes dark matter
