Primordial black holes

[ryzenmulti]

If you need some inspiration as to what might be possible outcomes from crunching on Boinc, think about primordial black holes. Super small, super dense objects as big as a closed fist that weigh 5 earth masses? These things actually exist and detecting them will depend entirely on computer analysis of telescope observations through space applications.

This paper contains a black hole drawn to scale with 5 earth masses.

Imagine colliding with something the size of your hand (that cannot be easily seen) with the weight of a planet? Blows my tiny little mind these things are even possible. Physics continues to amaze.
