A Primordial Black Hole May Have Spewed the Highest Energy Neutrino Ever Found

A primordial black hole may have spewed the highest energy neutrino ever found

The Big Bang may have spawned these theoretical black holes, whose lives are thought to end in a burst of extremely energetic particles.

Did a dying black hole create the universe’s most powerful ghost particle?

Scientists may have just found a clue to one of the universe’s biggest mysteries. A new study from MIT suggests that the most powerful neutrino ever detected—the so-called “ghost particle” that barely interacts with anything—might have been created by the final explosion of a tiny black hole that formed just after the Big Bang. Neutrinos […] The post Did a dying black hole create the universe’s most powerful ghost particle? appeared first on Kno…

Primordial Black Holes — Our Best Shot at Seeing Hawking Radiation – Meson Stars

In February, scientists detected the most energetic neutrino ever observed — a so-called “ghost particle” with over 100 peta-electron-volts of energy. That’s far beyond anything humans could ever achieve in a particle accelerator. But where did it come from? A new MIT study suggests the answer might lie in one of the strangest objects in the universe: primordial black holes. These are tiny black holes thought to have formed just after the Big Ba…
