The LHC just ruled out another hiding place for quantum black holes
Physicists searching through Large Hadron Collider data found no evidence that the machine has been producing microscopic quantum black holes, but the result sharply narrows where such exotic physics could still be hiding. These hypothetical black holes could form if extra spatial dimensions make gravity much stronger at extremely tiny scales, potentially offering clues toward the long-sought…
Physicists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have expanded their search for microscopic black holes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe. These hypothetical black holes would be minuscule and fleeting, potentially shedding light on questions surrounding spacetime and gravity. The investigation also allowed researchers to assess a novel method for discovering rare and unknown particles.
Despite a lack of evidence, the search still provided valuable insights by ruling out possible hiding places for quantum black holes.
