Astronomers now predict a 90% chance of detecting an exploding primordial black hole within a decade. Such an event would confirm Stephen Hawking’s theory that black holes evaporate, releasing a flash of radiation and exotic particles. Detecting one would revolutionize physics and rewrite our understanding of the universe.

Sixty million years ago, Iceland’s deep plume fueled massive eruptions across the North Atlantic. Cambridge scientists discovered hidden weak zones in Earth’s crust that funneled the plume’s heat, explaining volcanic fields like the Giant’s Causeway. These ancient scars still shape today’s earthquakes and geothermal energy across Britain and Ireland.

Astronomers have discovered a rogue intermediate-mass black hole speeding through a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike typical galactic centres, this displaced object is accreting material and blasting out jets, suggesting black holes can grow “offsite”. The finding offers rare evidence of elusive intermediate black holes and may help explain how su…
