So in a sense one may never be able to observe the Hawking effect." The radiation described in the present paper differs substantially from Hawking's, and a case is made here that it has already been observed indirectly in ball lightning [continued]
Little black holes, also known as primordial black holes, are thought to be small, ancient black holes that formed shortly after the Big Bang. They are theorized to have masses ranging from the size of an atom to that of a mountain.
Dark matter is a type of matter that does not emit or absorb light, making it invisible to telescopes and other instruments that detect electromagnetic radiation. It is believed to make up around 85% of the total matter in the universe and plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies.
There is a hypothesis that suggests that dark matter is made up of little black holes. These primordial black holes would have formed in the early universe and their gravitational pull would account for the missing mass that is attributed to dark matter. However, this is still a topic of debate and further research is needed to confirm this connection.
Ball lightning is a phenomenon that is still not fully understood by scientists. It is described as a glowing sphere of light that appears during thunderstorms and can last for several seconds to minutes before disappearing. Some theories suggest that it is a type of plasma, while others propose that it is a type of electrical discharge.
There is currently no evidence to suggest a direct connection between little black holes and ball lightning. However, some theories propose that ball lightning could be caused by the evaporation of small black holes. This is still a topic of ongoing research and more evidence is needed to confirm this link.
