SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the relationship between black holes and the Big Bang, specifically addressing the formation of primordial black holes in the early universe. It is established that high densities shortly after the Big Bang may have allowed for black hole creation, contingent upon initial density perturbations. Various models predict primordial black holes ranging from a Planck mass (approximately 2.2×10−8 kg) to hundreds of thousands of solar masses. Despite the extreme density of the early universe, it did not collapse into black holes due to the unique conditions of rapid expansion during the Big Bang.
