Episode 79: Primordial Black Holes with QCD Color Charge with Elba Alonso-Monsalve and David Kaiser

About this episode

Jim discusses the prospects of describing dark matter as tiny black holes formed at the end of cosmic inflation with Elba Alonso-Monsalve and David Kaiser.

Jim talks with Elba Alonso-Monsalve and David Kaiser about the prospects to describe dark matter as tiny black holes that were created at the end of cosmic inflation. Due to the large inhomogeneities in the distribution of matter at that time, the black holes could form directly from the matter distribution and not be color neutral (in the sense of QCD).
