A black hole formed in this way is called a primordial black hole and is the most widely accepted hypothesis for the possible creation of micro black holes. Computer simulations suggest that the probability of formation of a primordial black hole is inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, the most likely outcome would be micro black holes.
Depending on the model, primordial black holes could have initial masses ranging from 10 −8 kg [17] (the so-called Planck relics) to more than thousands of solar masses. . However, primordial black holes originally having masses lower than 10 11 kg would not have survived to the present due to Hawking radiation, which causes complete evaporation in a time much shorter than the age of the ...

Scientists say microscopic black holes could explain the elusive "dark matter" that makes up a quarter of all matter in the universe. But can it be proven?
A black hole can form when enough matter or energy is compressed into a volume small enough that the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. Because nothing can travel that fast, nothing within a certain distance, proportional to the mass of the black hole, can escape beyond that distance.
A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
In quantum gravity, a virtual black hole [1] is a hypothetical micro black hole that exists temporarily as a result of a quantum fluctuation of spacetime. [2] It is an example of quantum foam and is the gravitational analog of the virtual electron–positron pairs found in quantum electrodynamics.
A photograph of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87. The black hole is outlined by emission from hot gas swirling around it under the influence of strong gravity near its event horizon.
