Kugelblitz (astrophysics)

Kugelblitz (astrophysics) is a topic that has captured the attention of millions of people around the world. Since its appearance on the public scene, it has generated endless debate and has sparked growing interest in various disciplines. This phenomenon has been the subject of study by academics, has inspired artists and has challenged conventions in its respective industry. As Kugelblitz (astrophysics) continues to make headlines and generate controversy, it is important to analyze its impact on contemporary society and understand the extent to which it has shaped the way we think and act. In this article, we will closely explore Kugelblitz (astrophysics) and examine its influence on different aspects of our daily lives.

A kugelblitz (German: [ˈkuːɡl̩ˌblɪt͡s] ⓘ) is a theoretical astrophysical object predicted by general relativity. It is a concentration of heat, light or radiation so intense that its energy forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped. In other words, if enough radiation is aimed into a region of space, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime so much that it creates a black hole. This would be a black hole whose original mass–energy was in the form of radiant energy rather than matter, however as of March 2024, there is no uniformly accepted method of distinguishing Black Holes by origin.

John Archibald Wheeler's 1955 Physical Review paper entitled "Geons" refers to the kugelblitz phenomenon and explores the idea of creating such particles (or toy models of particles) from spacetime curvature.

The kugelblitz phenomenon has been considered a possible basis for interstellar engines (drives) for future black hole starships.[non-primary source needed]

In fiction

  • A kugelblitz is a major plot point in the third season of the American superhero television series The Umbrella Academy.
