Primordial black holes are theoretical black holes that formed in the first second after the Big Bang from density fluctuations in the hot plasma, with Stephen Hawking and Jim Carr proposing their existence in 1971; these tiny black holes, which can be smaller than an atom yet as massive as a mountain, remain a leading candidate for dark matter and could potentially drift through our solar system undetected, interacting only through their gravitational influence.

A Black Hole From the Big Bang May Be Inside YouAdded:
Stephen Hawking predicted black holes the size of atoms. They formed in the first second of the universe. Imagine something smaller than an atom, but heavier than a mountain, drifting silently through the space between your cells.
These are primordial black holes born from density spikes in the hot plasma just after the Big Bang.
Hawking and Carr proposed them in 1971.
They remain a leading candidate for dark matter. An asteroid mass black hole could be drifting through the solar system this year. We would not see it.
Like the video to see the long form on what the universe is hiding.
The research is real.
