Primordial black holes, possibly formed in the early universe, could be key to understanding dark matter. A new theory explores how these elusive black holes might be captured by neutron stars, devouring them from within. While this could explain the scarcity of pulsars near the Galactic center, recent research suggests the likelihood of such events is low, leaving the mystery of missing neutron stars unresolved.
