A New Theory Reveals How Space-Time Could Create Tiny Black Holes

Physicists have developed a new mathematical framework describing an exotic space-time crystal—a repeating structure that could become unstable and collapse into a microscopic black hole after receiving only a tiny amount of energy.

The theory offers a new way to study critical collapse and may help explain how primordial black holes could have formed shortly after the Big Bang.
