A team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has
suggested swirling masses of matter, called primordial
black holes (PBHs), are soaring past our solar system at
least once a decade, disrupting planets and moons.
The PBHs, which formed shortly after the Big Bang 12.8
billion years ago, are the size of a microbe, but have
a density an asteroid that could cause orbits to 'wobble.'
The team's claim suggests that the distances of planets
from the sun or the Earth could change over time.
. . .
Um, they'd have the "density" of a black hole - essentially
infinite.
BUT - Hawking asserted that BHs, esp small ones, would
rapidly perish.
If they DON'T ... then somebody had damned well BETTER
have a long talk with the LHC/CERN people !
Do "black holes" really exist ? I don't think so. The
reason is Einstein's time-dilation equations. A BH
can never REALLY form, until infinity, because time
keeps slowing down as they approach infinite grav
density. We get really-really-really-BROWN holes
instead. Still very bad if they make any at CERN
however.
Now there may be a number of influences that can also
cause gravitational bumps that'd tweak planetary orbits.
Clearly the Earth - ok "Planet DIRT" - hasn't been
deflected THAT much in 4+ billion years or life
would have been impossible. However some 'deviations
from the norm' like "snowball earth" and such MAY
be in that picture.
However random influences, mostly from nearby planets,
seem likely to be greater contributions to such effects
than passing "mini-holes".
Anyway, interesting hypothesis ... but a lot more
thinking/evidence is yet to come.
Oh ... GOTTA come up with a better name than
"planet DIRT" ... something "blue"-related
perhaps ?
