Mini black hole crossing the solar system




It is seriously the possibility that the latest study published by researchers from the MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology talks about and they do not talk about giant black holes, but about micro or mini black holes, even so, they would be black holes with enough mass to alter the orbit of a planet and they say that some of them cross the solar system and more frequently than you can imagine.



And this black hole in the solar system is not a theory, MIT talks about Mini black holes or technically called primordial black holes that were theorized years ago, it is a theory that has existed for years, what MIT proposes is something Differently, the MIT researchers propose something more interesting, it is a plan to hunt at least one of them within the solar system and in current time, we are not talking in millions of years, nor in centuries but in current time, in the present time that we humans have to live.



There are theories that are too fantastic because they cannot be proven, theories are like adventure stories, a guy smoking a pipe may come to your house one day and tell you that there is a mountain within which there is a hidden treasure. by a dragon, which kills everyone who approaches; In short, there is a treasure and a dragon that you can't see and certain death if you try to get close, end of story.



Things change radically, if the guy with the pipe tells you that he knows another guy who has a plan to enter the mountain, kill the dragon and get all the treasure, then everything changes; The plan transforms fantasy into something that can be real and the same thing happens in science, you can develop the most wonderful theory that aims to explain the most hidden secret of the universe, but if you do not have a plan to demonstrate it, either with an experiment or designing a trip of exploration, well it's over, your theory will sleep in a drawer until perhaps someone one day designs a plan to prove that the theory you have presented is true or that it is false, and this is what the MIT researchers have done, they have designed an ingenious plan.




In the publication, the plan to hunt them down clarifies that they are not supermassive black holes, they speak of primordial black holes, microscopic or small black holes, but still with enough mass to alter the orbit of a planet, the most curious thing about the study of the MIT is that one of those primordial black holes passing through the solar system can occur once every 10 years, this is the fact that blows my mind the most.



If we could capture, if we could hunt down one of these, which are theoretical objects, we don't know if they exist, they are objects that are still in the theory drawer,
If one could demonstrate this plan, it could partly explain the mystery of dark matter, which supposedly makes up 85 percent of the matter in the universe.



These black holes could pass through the solar system, without swallowing everything and without causing much inconvenience because they are small and pass through it like another object, but they could cause alterations in the orbit of the planets, they could cause inconvenience, just enough to can be detected with current technology and that is what MIT researchers believe.




These researchers try to discover that passing through the solar system could alter the orbit of a planet and we could detect this with our current technology. The most curious thing is that MIT physicists have proposed that this planet be Mars, because they have calculated that Mars is the most likely to be shaken to a degree just enough to be able to detect the presence of the passage of one of those black holes.


The calculations that the researchers made were not very clear, because apparently there are many other dynamics in the solar system that could act as some type of shock absorber, that is, even if one were to pass, the wobble would end up being cushioned and could not be noticed; However, Mars would be in a more delicate balance, and would give a clearer image, it would be more affected by passing one of these primordial holes.


The researchers found that if one of these primordial black holes with a mass large enough, say, the mass of the Earth were to pass within a few hundred million kilometers of Mars, it could cause a wobble or slight deviation in Mars' orbit of about 1 meter, something that is very small, but at least we have the current technology to be able to detect it, it is like using Mars as a detector of the crossing of primordial black holes.
