Could Primordial Black Holes Explain That Mysterious Neutrino?
Could a Primordial Black Hole Explain the Mysterious Neutrino? A recent stir in astroparticle physics centers on a single, exceptionally energetic neutrino detected by KM3NeT, a network of underwater neutrino detectors in the Mediterranean. In February, KM3NeT announced the highest-energy neutrino observed to date. A new MIT-Caltech study offers a provocative idea: a primordial black…
