Primordial black holes and asteroid danger
Authors: Alexander Shatskiy
(Submitted on 21 Feb 2008)
Abstract: Probability for a primordial black hole to invade the Kuiper belt was calculated. We showed that primordial black holes of certain masses can significantly change asteroids’ orbits. These events may result in disasters, local for our solar system and global for the Earth (like the Tunguska meteorite). We also estimated how often such events occur.
