Chat… Are Black Holes Dark Energy??

In my new longer-than-usual piece for @astrobites.bsky.social, I do a deep dive into the background of the controversial 2023 paper which claimed black holes expand in step with the universe and can therefore explain dark energy. 🧪

From Lucas Brown: If extremely low-mass primordial black holes are lurking in our galaxy, they should glow white hot with Hawking radiation. Today’s authors explore whether we can use this fact to tease out their presence. 🔭✨

Just for some background, I'm a physics PhD student at UC Santa Cruz. I study gravitational waves, black holes, and other fun topics in theoretical astrophysics!

I'm also an author over at @astrobites.bsky.social!
