 | | Called a primordial, or mini, fl hole, it would have been created during the big bang, in which the universe was created (see cosmology). |
 | | Beginning with a giant star collapsing on itself or the collision of two neutron stars, waves of radiation and subatomic particles are propelled outward from the nascent fl hole and collide with one another, releasing the gamma radiation. |
 | | However, a fl hole can be detected by the effect of its gravitational field on nearby objects (e.g., if it is orbited by a visible star), during the collapse while it was forming, or by the X rays and radio frequency signals emitted by rapidly swirling matter being pulled into the fl hole. |
