A neutrino 25 times stronger than any atom smasher’s output may be the dying scream of a black hole — one theorized by Hawking 50 years ago, says a new arXiv study.

Imagine a black hole weighing as much as two African elephants — and smaller than an atom. That’s what may have exploded, firing a cosmic bullet at Earth, researchers suggest.

Decades after Stephen Hawking predicted tiny black holes would evaporate, scientists may have caught one’s final, fiery breath in a neutrino flash from deep space.
A relic of the Big Bang, shrinking for billions of years, may have burst in a high-energy finale — and Earth’s detectors might have finally heard its whisper, say physicists.

Could these tiny black holes be the dark matter we’ve been chasing for decades? If so, they might be lighting up the cosmos as they die, hinting at a universe teeming with unseen giants.

A bizarre force called “memory burden” may let black holes defy death for eons — until, one day, they unleash particles like the monster neutrino KM3NeT just caught.

If primordial black holes are real, they may be exploding all around us — and the neutrino detected might be the first clue to this hidden cosmic fireworks show.

Born in the chaos of the Big Bang, a black hole the size of a truck but heavier than elephants may have just blown itself apart — and Earth caught the shockwave.

The most powerful ghost particle ever seen may be a cosmic message from a black hole’s last moments — potentially reshaping what we know of dark matter and the universe itself.
