Black holes are born from the explosive deaths of stars. But can black holes themselves explode? Nobody knows for sure — but if they can, a team of scientists argue they may have spotted evidence of ...
"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...
It's all over the internet this week - trees "exploding" in the cold. I'm getting messages, memes and TikToks sent to me about it. It's funny (in a way), but let's set aside expectation from reality ...
When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole with a "dark charge." If true, this theory could lead to a definitive catalog ...
Bitterly cold arctic air has blanketed parts of the United States over the last week, with some areas getting snow and subzero temperatures. Along with the cold weather comes a natural event called ...
In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

The space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, killing all seven crew members. An investigation determined the explosion was caused by an O-ring seal failure in a ...
An incredibly energetic "impossible" particle that hit Earth in 2023 may have been debris from an exploding primordial black hole formed during the Big Bang. If that is the case, then it could prove ...
