What happens if youre hit by a primordial black hole?

You get squished really, really fast, like being stepped on by a giant.

Imagine you're playing with clay. If someone gently presses their hand into it, it just gets a little flatter. But if a primordial black hole, which is like a tiny, super-dense version of a rock, hits you, it's more like getting hit by a bulldozer while you're made of soft playdough.

What’s a primordial black hole?

A primordial black hole is like a rock that was born in the very beginning of the universe. It’s super tiny but also super heavy, kind of like a marble that weighs as much as a truck.

If one hit you, it would be like being squeezed by something so strong and small that it could flatten you in an instant, maybe even turn you into a flat pancake!

Why does it matter?

It's not just about getting squished. If the primordial black hole passes right through your body, you might not even notice it, like a tiny bug flying through your hand. But if it hits you just right? You could be flattened in the blink of an eye! You get squished really, really fast, like being stepped on by a giant.
