Write what each word means, using the article.

Do not copy the article. Write two things you learned, the way you would explain them to a friend.

Answers below are taken from the article’s stored facts, so they match what the student read.

1. How heavy is Micro black hole?Less than one solar mass (< 1 M☉)
2. What is the theoretical formation mechanisms?Early universe density fluctuations (primordial black holes) or phase transitions
3. What is the dominant physics?Quantum mechanical effects are significant due to small size

General Relativity: Einstein's theory describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
Quantum Mechanics: The fundamental theory in physics describing nature at the smallest scales of energy and matter.
Hawking Radiation: Theoretical thermal radiation predicted to be emitted by black holes due to quantum effects near the event horizon.
Primordial Black Holes: Hypothetical black holes formed in the extremely dense conditions of the early universe, not from stellar collapse.
