Description

Black holes may be produced from false-vacuum bubble implosions at the end of the quantum chromodynamics phase transition. Evaporation of these black holes during the keV era readjusts the abundances of light nuclei. An appropriate mass distribution of black holes gives nuclear abundances broadly consistent with observations even for ΩB=1, reconciling a critical baryonic universe with standard-model particle physics
