London40 tonnes could survive inside a star.
Finding one would hand physicists a rare observational handle on dark matter.
Small black holes evaporate fast under Hawking radiation, but feeding on dense dark matter could let accretion outrun that decay.
The idea rests on unproven dark-matter density assumptions, and no such object has been observed.

- proposes primordial black holes survive if embedded in stars with balanced accretion-evaporation, allowing 40-ton objects
