In a hypothetical scenario, small, primordial black holes could be captured by newly forming stars. An international team, led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, has now modeled the evolution of these so-called "Hawking stars" and found that they can have surprisingly long lifetimes, resembling normal stars in many aspects. The work is published in The Astrophysical Journal.
One of the space-related channels I listen to did a “theoretical star” breakdown in one of his vids a few years ago, so honestly it’s weird hearing that actual scientists have done something with it, not because I somehow believe this youtuber came up with the theory, but because I figured it was more “this is technically possible but real scientists don’t think it could happen, but it’s interesting channel content”
