Scientists may have found the first hints of primordial black holes, born in the very first seconds of the Big Bang.

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...
