A new study suggests that there could be “extremely large” black holes, holding a mass of 100 billion suns. The discovery of such an enormous region of space could shed light on the mystery of dark matter.
At the center of most galaxies, there are supermassive black holes with masses that are tens of millions to billions of times larger than the Earth’s sun. In the heart of our own galaxy lies Sagittarius A *, which weighs about a million solar masses. The largest black hole discovered so far is 618 tons and contains an incredible mass of 66 billion solar masses.
But what if there’s even a big black hole out there? A new study has shown possible survival “Suddenly big black holes,” Or SLBS, which could be 100 billion suns or more in size.
SLBS A burning question about how such an astonishing area of space ever formed? Multiple black holes merge theories have already been discounted by previous research because they could not reach supermassive sizes because the universe just isn’t that old.

One possible explanation, however, is that black holes may have had an early origin, following the result of the Big Bang that formed the universe. Theory suggests that random fluctuations in density could pool enough to fall into black holes, which then worked. “Seed” For wide SLABs.
Researchers say the possibility that such large black holes exist is that they have been able to focus on surprisingly little research even though they exist in theory and they can help unravel some of the questions about dark matter that have plagued physics for decades.
Dark matter is believed to contain about 80 percent of the matter in the universe, but it has not been directly detected. Discovering it will eventually solve one of the most mysterious mysteries of science, but for now, researchers have had to rely on the study of its effects on gravity in general.
“Some people may be skeptical about the existence of SLBS based on which they will be difficult to formulate,” he said. Bernard Carey, a theoretical cosmologist at Queen Mary University in London, co-authored the study with Space.com.
“However, people were also skeptical about intermediate-mass and supermassive black holes until they were found. We don’t know if the slabs exist, but we hope our paper will encourage discussion in the community.
