Planck stars, White Holes, Remnants and Planck-mass quasi-particles

The paper discusses recent developments in quantum gravity related to black hole physics, focusing on the emergence of a Planck-mass quasi-stable object that could potentially contribute to dark matter. Authored by Carlo Rovelli and Francesca Vidotto, the review explores the quantum gravity phase in black hole evolution, introducing concepts such as Planck stars, white holes, remnants, and Planck-mass quasi-particles. The scenario presented in the paper predicts the existence of these Planck-mass objects as a significant aspect of black hole physics. The study delves into the implications of these findings for our understanding of the evolution of black holes and their potential connection to dark matter. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of these quantum gravity aspects and their manifestations in the context of black hole physics.

Physicist Nikodem Popławski's study reveals black hole behavior in an expanding universe. Einstein's equations suggest a constant expansion rate at black hole event horizons, challenging previous assumptions and shedding light on the Hubble tension. Popławski's work hints at a link between black holes, wormholes, and dark energy.

Einstein and his peers were 'irrationally resistant' to black holes

Albert Einstein and peers initially resisted black hole concepts. Despite theoretical roots dating back a century, acceptance came in the 1960s with observational support. Einstein's work laid the foundation, but reluctance persisted due to clashes between evidence and personal beliefs.

>A local dark matter density of the order of 0.01M⊙/pc3 corresponds to approximately one Planck-scale white-hole per each 10.000Km3. These objects are presumably moving fast with respect to our local frame, since we are rotating with the galaxy at hundreds of Km per second, while dark matter probably isn’t.

Anyone know why dark matter wouldn't be rotating along with the rest of the galaxy?

I want planet nine to be a primordial black hole so we can send a few probes out to orbit it and then chuck stuff into it to learn about quantum gravity.

Note there is an error in the paper going from equation (60) to (63): inequality (63) should read 10^-8 Hz < mu < 10^2 Hz. This is fairly important from an observational standpoint!

Lots of people seem to talk about things being a contributor to dark matter. Is the general vibe that it's made of more than one thing?

"This is a review of some recent developments on quantum gravity aspects of black hole physics. In particular, we focus on a scenario leading to the prediction of the existence of a Planck-mass quasi-stable object, that could form a component of dark matter."
