MIT Study Suggests Primordial Black Holes Could Be Detected by Mars' Orbital Wobble

Tiny black holes, thought to be remnants from the early Universe, may pass through our Solar System every decade, causing detectable shifts in Mars' orbit.

Primordial black holes are a leading candidate for dark matter, potentially making up a significant portion of the Universe's mass.
These black holes, formed shortly after the Big Bang, could pass through the inner Solar System about once every ten years.
MIT researchers used simulations to show that a passing primordial black hole could cause a slight wobble in Mars' orbit, detectable by current instruments.
The study found that Mars offers a clearer picture for detecting these wobbles compared to Earth or the Moon.
Confirming such wobbles could revolutionize our understanding of dark matter and its role in the cosmos.
