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.

Scientists may have found an answer to the mystery of dark matter
Scientists research dark matter, an invisible substance crucial for understanding the universe. Recent studies propose primordial black holes as a solution, suggesting they could account for dark matter and be detected by gravitational wave detectors.
Primordial Black Holes with QCD Color Charge
Researchers propose a mechanism for primordial black holes with QCD color charge, potentially part of dark matter. Study by Alonso-Monsalve and Kaiser explores observational implications, shedding light on early Universe understanding.
The surprising behavior of black holes in an expanding universe
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.
The priest who predicted black holes – in 1783
John Michell, an 18th-century British clergyman, predicted black holes using Newtonian laws, influencing modern understanding despite initial resistance from physicists like Einstein. Michell's innovative ideas shaped cosmic knowledge.
