The upshot is that there may be black holes that existed before the Big Bang knocking around in our modern universe. What's more, we might be able to detect them through the theorized gamma-ray burst produced when these pre-Big Bang black holes evaporate out of existence. But how would we signal between these black holes and the primordial black holes thought to be produced after the Big Bang? Well, that's just too confusing right now."
