How do micro black holes maintain their state?

AI Thread Summary
Micro black holes, theorized to have formed during the early universe's extreme density, challenge traditional black hole concepts that emphasize mass. Their existence hinges on density rather than mass, allowing for the collapse of any amount of matter to its Schwarzschild radius, creating a black hole. Primordial black holes likely emerged during the Hadron Epoch when conditions favored gravitational collapse. However, recent gamma ray background measurements indicate that these micro black holes may not be as prevalent as previously believed. Understanding their formation and lifespan, influenced by Hawking radiation, remains a complex topic in astrophysics.

All that I've read about black holes describe something so massive it's gravity overcomes all other forces and it causes a region of spacetime to develop that no particle or electromagnetic radiation can escape from.

That explanation since it depends on mass makes no sense in regard to theorized micro black holes created at the dawn of creation.

I've never read anything explaining how they were created without the mass required to generate the gravity to create and maintain it.

So what is the explanation for how they can exist or could have existed without starting out first with sufficient mass?

If you compress any mass/energy to it's Scwartzchild radius you get a black hole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius.

Primordial, micro black holes might have formed during the time of extreme density during the universe's early expansion.

Black holes emit Hawking radiation. Eventually a black hole can disappear via Hawking radiation. The life-span of a black hole is proportional to its mass.. Micro black holes would have very, very short lifespands.

Black holes are not dependent upon mass, but rather density. As cyclopia mentioned above, if you are able to collapse matter, in any amount, down to its Scwartzchild radius, you will obtain a black hole. Primordial black holes could only have formed when the temperature and pressure was sufficient enough to cause gravitational collapse. Which puts it no later than the Hadron Epoch (from 0.000001 seconds to 1 second after the Big Bang).
 
The density of the very early universe was quite high. Primordial black holes were hypothesized to form under such conditions. Modern gamma ray background measurement suggest primordial micro black holes are not as abundant as originally thought.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
