According to the study, some scholars even suggest that PBHs might be dark matter itself (the mysterious substance that makes up 85% of the universe’s mass). “Small primordial black holes ...

What really sets black holes apart is the preponderance of matter that surrounds them. While some like Sgr A* exist in relatively empty larders (if our black hole was a human, it would exist on a ...
