Scientists have discovered a potential threat to the stability of our universe, stemming from the instability of the Higgs boson. The existence of primordial black holes, which are predicted to evaporate, could trigger a phase transition in the Higgs field, leading to a complete restructuring of the laws of physics. However, the absence of such a cataclysmic event indicates the unlikelihood of primordial black holes and opens up new avenues for understanding the Higgs boson and the universe.
Results for: Primordial black holes
A new study suggests that the early universe may have contained far fewer primordial black holes than previously thought, complicating the search for dark matter.
