What are tiny black holes?

Tiny black holes are super-dense spots that act like strong gravity traps, but they’re really small, like a grain of sand.

Imagine you have a sponge ball and you squeeze it until it becomes as tiny as a pebble. That’s kind of what happens with tiny black holes. They're made when very heavy things get squished into the tiniest space, maybe even in a lab or deep inside stars.

Tiny black holes are like gravity vacuum cleaners. If something gets too close, it can't escape, just like how your socks disappear in the washing machine if you leave them in too long. But tiny black holes don’t suck up everything around them because they're so small.

Scientists think there could be tiny black holes floating around us now. They might even be passing through Earth without anyone noticing, like a sneaky little ghost made of gravity.
