Researchers have discovered that black holes that formed before the Big Bang may still exist today as surviving relics. These ancient objects carry mass and structure from early cosmic stages and will provide new ways to explain how galaxies formed and why invisible matter dominates them. Within this framework, relic black holes do … Read more

Gaztanaga proposes a … Read more
