Black holes and relation to creation

In summary, while there are no specific papers or articles that directly reference black holes as creations of the Big Bang or as potential elements in creating alternate universes, there is evidence to suggest that these dense objects could have formed in the early universe due to density perturbations. However, the collapse into black holes during the Big Bang did not occur due to the rapid expansion of space.

Black holes and relation to creation
Are there any papers or articles that reference black holes being the creations of the big bang or being considered in creating universes in alternate dimensions? Thanks for the help.

Primordial black holes and the Big Bang​

Gravitational collapse requires great density. In the current epoch of the universe these high densities are found only in stars, but in the early universe shortly after the Big Bang densities were much greater, possibly allowing for the creation of black holes. High density alone is not enough to allow black hole formation since a uniform mass distribution will not allow the mass to bunch up. In order for primordial black holes to have formed in such a dense medium, there must have been initial density perturbations that could then grow under their own gravity. Different models for the early universe vary widely in their predictions of the scale of these fluctuations. Various models predict the creation of primordial black holes ranging in size from a Planck mass (mP=√(ħc/G) ≈ 1.2×10^19 GeV/c2 ≈ 2.2×10−8 kg) to hundreds of thousands of solar masses.[127]

Despite the early universe being extremely dense—far denser than is usually required to form a black hole—it did not re-collapse into a black hole during the Big Bang. Models for the gravitational collapse of objects of relatively constant size, such as stars, do not necessarily apply in the same way to rapidly expanding space such as the Big Bang.[133]

1. What exactly is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. This is due to the massive amount of matter that has been compressed into a very small space.

2. How are black holes formed?

Black holes are formed when stars with a mass greater than about three times that of the sun run out of fuel and collapse under their own gravity. This collapse causes the star to become extremely dense and form a black hole.

3. What is the relation between black holes and the creation of the universe?

Black holes play a significant role in the creation of the universe. The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinite density and gravity. This singularity eventually expanded and formed the universe we know today. Some scientists believe that black holes may also be responsible for the creation of new universes through a process called "cosmic inflation."

4. Can anything escape from a black hole?

No, nothing can escape from a black hole. The strong gravitational pull is so intense that even light, which is the fastest thing in the universe, cannot escape. However, some theories suggest that tiny particles called Hawking radiation may escape from a black hole, but this has not been observed yet.

5. Are there different types of black holes?

Yes, there are three main types of black holes: stellar black holes, intermediate black holes, and supermassive black holes. Stellar black holes are formed from the collapse of a single star, while intermediate black holes are thought to be formed from the merging of several smaller black holes. Supermassive black holes, on the other hand, are found at the center of galaxies and are much larger than the other two types.
