Measuring Black Holes with Spacecraft Stopwatches ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Geometric Search for Hawking Radiation from Nearby Primordial Black Holes"
A new method uses the slight curve of gamma-ray waves to measure the distance to an exploding tiny black hole.

Drop a pebble in a pond: ripples curve. Far out at sea, waves look flat. Gamma-ray bursts work the same. A nearby blast sends curved waves. By measuring that tiny curve with spacecraft, we can catch an evaporating black hole. Future detectors might find one just beyond Pluto.
🎯 Primordial black holes, if they exist, are tiny but incredibly dense — remnants from the Big Bang — and they could be evaporating today, flashing gamma rays detectable by deep-space probes.
