Exploding primordial black holes might have reshaped the early universe, and created all matter as we know it
The article discusses a scientific theory suggesting that explosions of primordial black holes in the early universe may have contributed to the matter-antimatter imbalance through shock waves. Researchers propose that these events could explain baryogenesis, the process by which matter prevailed over antimatter.
