00:00What if black holes the size of atoms were created during the Big Bang itself?
00:04Scientists may have just found their first clue.
00:06On November 12th, two of the world's most powerful observatories,
00:10LIGO and VIRGO, detected something strange.
00:13It looked like a collision between two black holes.
00:16But these objects were way too small to be regular black holes.
00:20And that's where it gets wild.
00:22Scientists now believe this could be the first real evidence of primordial black holes.
00:26These are tiny ancient black holes that may have formed in the chaotic first seconds after the Big Bang.
00:32They could be as small as atoms but hold as much mass as a star.
00:35If true, it's not just a massive discovery.
00:38It might explain dark matter.
00:40Yes, the invisible stuff that makes up most of our universe.
00:43But scientists aren't popping champagne just yet.
00:46They need more signals to confirm it's real.
00:48If future detections match this one,
00:51we might finally be looking at the oldest black holes in existence
00:54and a missing piece of the universe itself.
00:56It's real.
00:59It's real.
01:01It's real.
01:03It's real.
