Researchers Propose Evidence of Primordial Black Holes in Cosmic Objects and Earthly Materials
A study led by the University at Buffalo suggests primordial black holes (PBHs), formed in the early universe, could leave traces in both cosmic and terrestrial objects. Researchers believe PBHs, which are much smaller than stellar black holes, might leave hollow structures in celestial bodies like asteroids or moons. Additionally, passing through ...

James Webb Telescope Breaks Record with Discovery of Early Galaxies Dating 200 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating back to 200 million years after the Big Bang. These findings could transform our understanding of early cosmic evolution. Discovered via gravitational lensing, these galaxies, if confirmed, predate known formations and offer vital insights into the universe’s infancy. Scient...

Dark Matter Could Be Linked to a ‘Dark Big Bang’, New Study Suggests
New research suggests that dark matter may have originated from a "Dark Big Bang," a cosmic event distinct from the standard Big Bang. Proposed by scientists at Colgate University, the theory explores scenarios where dark matter could have been introduced into the universe up to a year after the initial Big Bang. Unlike regular matter, dark matter ...

World's 2nd Fastest Supercomputer Simulates Universe’s Largest Evolution Model
The Frontier supercomputer, the second fastest globally, has completed the most comprehensive universe simulation to date. Led by Argonne National Laboratory, the project used the HACC code to model cosmological hydrodynamics. By incorporating factors beyond gravity, like gas dynamics and star formation, the simulation provides a detailed understan...

Researchers Propose New Methods to Spot Atom-Sized Primordial Black Holes Moving Across Solar System
Recent studies suggest that microscopic primordial black holes may exist within the solar system, potentially impacting planetary orbits and satellite movements. These small, early-universe black holes could also contribute to the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass. Methods are being developed to detect their gravitat...

Scientists Uncover Possible Flaw In Einstein's Theory Of Space-Time
A new study by scientists from the Universities of Geneva and Toulouse has found a small inconsistency in Einstein's general relativity predictions.

A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Passes Its Biggest Test After Observations From Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
A new study by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggests dark energy might not be constant over time, potentially altering cosmological models. Conducted at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the project’s 3-D galaxy map highlights the role of dark energy in shaping the universe’s expansion. Researchers found evidence that dark ...

Cosmic Survey Reveals Surge of Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
A cosmic survey using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has identified over 2,500 active black holes in dwarf galaxies, tripling previous estimates. Conducted by the University of Utah’s Ragadeepika Pucha, the research has also uncovered nearly 300 intermediate-mass black holes, quadrupling their known population. This milestone discovery ...

Black Holes Explosions Driven by Hawking Radiation May Unveil New Physics
Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Study Claims Black Holes Could be Driving Universe's Expansion
A new study proposes that black holes could hold the key to dark energy, which fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), astronomers observed a possible correlation between the growth of black holes and an increase in dark energy. The study's co-authors, Gregory Tarlé and Duncan Farrah...

Asteroid Bennu Examines Potential Fifth Force and Dark Matter Connection
Research on asteroid Bennu reveals no evidence of a potential fifth force that could explain dark matter. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission tracked Bennu’s orbit with exceptional accuracy, allowing scientists to examine for subtle deviations. This study provides insight into the unknown forces in the universe and suggests that further investigation of ...
