There may be a black hole inside the Sun

Can you believe it? There may be a black hole hidden in our sun, and there must be many people who think this is, so don't wait for me to finish and you'll understand.

There may be a black hole inside the Sun

Although the Sun is a yellow dwarf star with too little mass to collapse into a black hole even in old age, the universe.

In addition to stellar black holes and supermassive black holes, there is also a very small type of primordial black hole.

Primordial black holes, also known as primordial black holes, are not formed by the gravitational collapse of massive stars, but are formed by the direct collapse of matter in the early days of the universe due to the dense distribution of matter in local space.

The primordial black hole may have existed long before the birth of the first star in the universe, and the mass of such black holes is very small, theoretically a typical circular primordial black hole has a mass equivalent to that of an asteroid, and the volume may be only the size of an apple or even a peanut.

Therefore, in the case that the mass and volume of the circular primordial black hole are much smaller than that of the star, it is possible for the sun, a medium-mass yellow dwarf, to capture a primordial black hole and swallow it inside, and because the primordial black hole swallows the stellar matter very slowly, it may be that after the end of the sun's 10 billion years of life, the primordial black hole will only swallow a small part of the sun's mass, rather than revealing its true body early.

The time it takes for a primordial black hole to swallow a star depends on the mass of the black hole compared to the star, and if a round primordial black hole has a mass equivalent to 1 100,000 times that of the Sun, it only takes 500 million years to completely swallow the Sun, and its volume will increase in the process.

But under normal circumstances, the mass of the black hole at the beginning of the circle is less than one trillionth of the sun, and the period of devouring the sun may exceed 10 billion years, which has exceeded the limit of the lifetime of the sun itself, so even if there is really a black hole of origin inside the sun or other stars, we cannot directly find it.

In addition to the possible existence of a primordial black hole inside the Sun, there is also an opinion that the 9th planet other than Pluto, which has been suspected to exist, may be a primordial black hole, because after Pluto was kicked out of the planetary sequence, astronomers monitored the gravitational anomaly outside Pluto, and through calculations, it was found that the gravitational anomaly of this strength could be formed by at least a celestial body with a mass comparable to that of the Earth.

However, astronomers believe that the solar system outside Pluto is too inhospitable to have enough material to make up planets the size of the Earth, so some astronomers believe that the legendary planet 9 may be a circular black hole lurking outside the solar system.

However, human exploration of the solar system is still in its infancy, and Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, after half a century of long flights, have not yet flown out of the solar system, and whether the possible existence of Planet 9 in the solar system is the source of a black hole, at least in the short term, it cannot be confirmed.
