Very interesting. I guess having a stable black hole like that in our solar system would be an incredible opportunity to send a probe and check our current understanding of physics.
If anything it'd be a lot more valuable then just finding another rock in space.
- est 7y agoThe odds of finding blackholes everywhere in the universe suddenly increased?
- Simon_says 7y agoUnless there's some unknown effect of having a black hole that makes life more likely to appear when PBH orbit the star, in which case it might decrease estimates of the frequency of life in the universe. It's theorized that the existence of Jupiter played a role in clearing out the inner solar system of kinetic kill vehicles, helping create a stable environment for life to evolve on Earth.
