‘Hawking radiation’ that may be erasing black holes could reveal new physics

SMRTR summary

Physicists propose that Hawking radiation from primordial black holes (PBHs) might unveil new physics. These PBHs, formed shortly after the Big Bang, could be exploding across the universe. Future telescopes may detect these explosions, potentially revealing unknown particles. The research outlines a method to determine PBH properties by analyzing the Hawking spectrum. Observing a nearby PBH explosion could significantly alter our understanding of nature's fundamental laws.
