Tiny black holes rip hydrogen atoms apart with gravity, like taffy, and that tearing reveals their invisible nature.

A tiny black hole flies through a cloud of hydrogen and stretches atoms like taffy. This idea could lead to the discovery of dark matter — the invisible stuff holding galaxies together.

🎯 A black hole with the mass of an asteroid but smaller than an atom tears apart a deuterium nucleus — a hydrogen isotope — with tidal force, and this changed the chemical makeup of the early Universe.
