      That „could“ is doing a lot of work with a theory aluded to by a single non-reproducible result. I think I’ll wait for at least a second measurement before throwing too much weight behind this idea.

      „it could explain (almost) everything“ is a novel variation on the usual click bait headline.

      It could even explain why we have a president who covers up a pedophile ring

      For those who haven’t made it through the article: It’s not at all about any observations of exploding black holes.

      In 2023 a high-energy neutrino was observed, so high-energy, in fact, that we have no current explanation for it.

      The researchers interviewed in this article propose a hypothesis that primordial black holes should be evaporating, and at a mass that can no longer maintain an event horizon would then „explode“ back into regular space-time along with a plethora of elementary particles, including these high-energy neutrinos.

      Astronomer here! Take a huge grain of salt here. This is based on a single neutrino detection by one neutrino detector. For those who don’t know, neutrinos are fundamental particles, like how an electron is a fundamental particle, except they have no charge and virtually no mass. Neutrinos are very cool but neutrino physics is *hard* to do right, and the first people to tell you “don’t obsess too much about single cases we don’t understand” are those who do it. You can usually tell what is an *actual* result based on if the neutrino detector’s collaboration is on the paper- for this one they are not.

      So this is a single weird neutrino was spotted and the group came up with a complicated theory to explain it. Ok, good for them. Doesn’t mean it’s correct or real, and skepticism is warranted.

      Reminds me of the time CERN sent a particle backwards through time. Oops nope it was a sensor malfunction
