Hunting for Light from Black Hole Crumbs ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Unveiling the Quantum Nature of Black Holes: Towards a Proof of Hawking Radiation through Gamma-Ray Observations"
Scientists tried to spot instantaneous flashes from tiny black holes born in giant collisions, but without success so far.

When two massive black holes merge, they can splash out tiny 'crumbs'—asteroid-mass black holes. These little ones evaporate quickly, giving themselves away with gamma-ray flashes. Scientists checked the data from the Fermi telescope after the GW170814 merger—and found not a single flash. This means the crumbs are either much rarer or evaporate less brightly than expected. But sharper instruments are already being prepared.
🎯 Regular black holes are cosmic vacuum cleaners, but black hole crumbs are more like fireflies: they don't suck in, they evaporate, blinking farewell.
🎬 In the TV series 'Stargate', ultra-small black holes were used as weapons or sources of unimaginable energy—alas, in reality we haven't caught them yet.
