University of Miami astrophysicists Alberto Magaraggia and Nico Cappelluti report potential evidence of the first Primordial Black Hole (PBH). Using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), the team analyzed signal S251112cm.
The signal indicated a collision involving an object less than one solar mass, distinguishing it from standard stellar black holes formed by supernovae. PBHs are theorized to have formed from dense subatomic pockets shortly after the Big Bang. While further verification is required, the findings support the hypothesis that these objects contribute significantly to dark matter.
