Relic Black Holes Could Trace a Pre‑Big‑Bang Cosmos

A new theory links JWST’s early 'red dot' galaxies to relic black holes formed during a pre‑Big‑Bang contraction in a cyclic universe; Gaztanaga argues these relics could survive a Big Bounce and might account for dark matter, with calculations published in Physical Review D and discussion in The Conversion, though substantial evidence is still needed.

Dark Matter Could Be Relic Black Holes From a Prior Universe

A new theory suggests dark matter may be composed of ancient black holes formed in a prior collapsing universe, which survived a cosmic bounce into our current one and behave like dark matter by gravity alone. The idea could address gaps in the standard model and JWST observations of early bright dots, but would need validation against gravitational-wave backgrounds and precise CMB measurements.
