Could a Primordial Black Hole Explain the Mysterious Neutrino?
A New Link Between Neutrinos and Primordial Black Holes The KM3NeT Collaboration, a network of neutrino detectors based in the Mediterranean, announced in February that they had detected the highest-energy neutrino yet observed. In a bold interpretation, researchers from MIT have proposed that such an ultrahigh-energy neutrino could be the product of Hawking radiation emitted…
