Kaiser emphasizes, "We're taking advantage of this highly instrumented region of space to try and look for a small effect. If we see it, that would count as a real reason to keep pursuing this delightful idea that all of dark matter consists of black holes..." This highlights the importance of precision measurements in uncovering dark matter's true nature.
The study reports new findings on the potential of primordial black holes as dark matter, with co-author Tung Tran stating, "If most of the dark matter in the universe is made up of microscopic primordial black holes, they should be detectable as they zoom through our solar system about once per decade, affecting Mars' orbit." This suggests a novel way to probe dark matter physics.
