This means that primordial black holes didn't have to wait for the first generation of stars to live and die before they could be created. Also, it doesn't place the same kinds of mass limits on ...

Massive primordial black holes could be the long sought answer. Such large, heavy objects might also have served as the anchors around which early galaxies coalesced, another conundrum that has ...

But interest in primordial black holes waned over the decades as searches for them turned up empty — that is, until we had the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO).

However, the paper’s new modeling suggests that even planets with their original primordial atmospheres of hydrogen and helium (something Earth also once had) can be potentially habitable for ...
