The possibility that black holes may be lurking within the solar system is a tantalizing prospect for astrophysicists. Recent studies suggest that primordial black holes, which are believed to ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions.
