Evaporating Black Hole Near Us May Explain 2023 Neutrino Event
Record-Breaking Neutrino Detection Points to Exploding Primordial Black Holes
Unravel the mystery behind the most energetic neutrino particle ever recorded and explore the revolutionary, yet exotic, hypothesis that it resulted from a primordial black hole evaporating near our solar system.
Short Summary
- Detectors recorded a neutrino carrying extreme energy (220 PeV), shattering previous astrophysical records.
- The particle's trajectory, moving horizontally through massive amounts of rock and water, ruled out standard atmospheric or deep-space sources like blazars.
- A new proposal suggests this signal resulted from the final burst of evaporation from a tiny primordial black hole, potentially located within 2,000 AU of Earth.
This discussion details the bizarre nature of the KM3230213A event detected by KM3Net in February 2023. Understanding the implications—including evidence for Hawking radiation and a potential solution to the dark matter puzzle—requires examining fundamental particle physics and highly speculative astrophysics.

I've been on a black hole science video kick. In the last 5 days I've watched 3-4 hours of long form videos on black holes. What a great coincidence to have such a preparation for an Anton release!
Can’t understand how a black hole could evaporate this early in the universe age.
What people always gloss over is that while 10^14 neutrinos pass through us every second, 10^23 gas molecules interact with our skin during the same time. That means for every neutrino that passes through us, an estimated 10 trillion molecules interact with our skin (edit: I'm not a physicist and these numbers could be way off. I've seen 10^23 to 10^27 as estimates for the number of molecules that hit our skin per second and which create the atmospheric pressure effect. My point it that when we hear the number of neutrinos passing through us, it sounds shocking, but the reality is neutrinos are rare compared to other particles hitting us.)
That neutrino really made a splash 😊
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🙂😁
The only thing I don’t understand is why we would only see a single particle. We should have seen the whole thing
Nice video 😊 Anton 🤗 again very interesting 🤔 thanks
Hi Anton Great episode again Thanks
Drop everything, wonderful Anton talks about black holes!
It's sounds like the bright detection was a scuba diver with a flash light. 😇
