Hawking stars: When black holes consume stars from the inside

Tiny primordial black holes could be captured by stars and consume them from within. Once again, the question falls to theorists, who are trying to imagine scenarios involving primordial black holes that could produce observable evidence. Hawking stars: how a star could capture a primordial black holeThe renowned British cosmologist and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking proposed a possible scenario that could help confirm the existence of primordial black holes. If a primordial black hole passed through a star, the encounter would most likely have no consequences for either the star or the black hole. However, studying them opens a new path in the search for traces of primordial black holes.
