New Model Proposes Explanation for Missing Primordial Black Holes and Dark Matter

Japanese researchers suggest early universe fluctuations could account for fewer primordial black holes, impacting dark matter theories.

Primordial black holes are hypothesized to have formed at the universe's inception, potentially explaining dark matter.
New model indicates far fewer primordial black holes than previously estimated, challenging their role as dark matter candidates.
The research combines quantum field theory, general relativity, and classical field theory to explain early universe phenomena.
Short, strong waves in the early universe could amplify to larger fluctuations observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
Future gravitational wave detection projects like LISA may help confirm the existence and role of primordial black holes.
