Scientists Think Dark Matter May Be Black Holes 0 (0)

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.

Scientists Recorded a Black Hole Eating a Star 0 (0)

Scientists recorded a black hole EATING a star, and you can actually hear it. This isn’t a simulation. It’s real data from MIT converted into sound waves. But how is that even possible when space is a vacuum? In this video, we break down how astronomers turned X-ray light echoes into audible sound, what those haunting tones actually reveal about black hole physics, and how MIT’s “Reverberation Machine” just discovered 8 NEW echoing black holes in our galaxy. – Source: https://news.mit.edu/2022/search-reveals-eight-new-sources-black-hole-echoes-0502 WATCH ANOTHER VIDEO: The Science Behind Space Sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THNskIj1-a0 Ways to support us – Join this channel to get [See More…]
