Dark Matter Could Be Primordial Black Holes From a Parallel Universe, New Model Shows

A novel cyclic‑universe framework proposes that dark matter could actually be a swarm of primordial black holes that existed before the Big Bang. If true, this would overturn decades of particle‑physics searches for exotic particles.

Dark Matter and the Black‑Hole Hypothesis

The theory, detailed in a recent pre‑print, posits a pre‑existing cosmos whose collapse seeded our universe with massive objects. These black holes would be invisible to telescopes yet exert gravitational influence, matching the observed dark‑matter distribution.

Researchers cite Reuters and Bloomberg reports on gravitational‑wave surveys that may already be picking up subtle signatures of such objects.

“If these black holes are relics of a prior universe, they would redefine our understanding of cosmic origins,” said Dr. Lina Kovacs, a theoretical physicist.

The model estimates that ↑ 7% of the universe’s mass could be locked in these ancient holes, a figure that aligns with the missing mass inferred from galaxy rotation curves.

Critics argue that alternative explanations, such as weakly interacting massive particles, remain viable, and that any claim must survive rigorous observational tests, including those involving nuclear decay signatures in ancient minerals.
