Fredagskollokvium: Primordial black holes - or a story of how much something that might not exist can tell you about physics

Marit Sandstad, Postodoctoral fellow NORDITA

Primordial black holes are black holes not from the remnants of super massive stars, but formed in the very early Universe. Though proposed over 40 years ago, no direct trace of them have been found so far. In this talk I will give an introduction to what primordial black holes are, how they have taught us about Hawking radiation, how they in principle can help us to know more about inflation, and how they might even solve the secrets of dark matter.
