Then it means we can also make blackholes made out of sound as it has energy also
-
What if the gravity of a blackhole already created the Kugelblitz inside it by trapping enough light in a concentrated location?
What if blackhole creates kugelblitz which creates blackhole which creates kugelblitz which creates blackhole inside it inside it inside it inside it?
What if Kugelblitz can be created by lights coming out when a planet explodes?
What if the blackholes are actually all Kugelblitz? -
I see a 666 in the number of views. Just so ya know. This stuff is interesting.
-
So...was the universe a Kugelblitz? You know, way back when
-
So would the Kugelblitz be black or white?
-
So basically, its just mindfuck
-
"The kugelblitz is dying out"I have s solution. shines flashlight
-
So...can someone explain to me how E=mc^2 works when 'c' is an arbitrary number?
-
So if light has no mass but he said it has energy and I'm just confused but it's mass is 0 and 0 x the speed of light squared is 0 and that would mean light has 0 energy. Can someone explain
-
So what if I disconnect the switch in my fridge so the light stays on when I shut the door?
How long will it take to create a mini light black hole to prank the next person who opens it?
And if it DOES suck them in, will they go to the same place the food did and how much food should I put in the fridge to begin with so they won't starve before you tell me how to bring them back? -
Sooooo, if we can create a mechanism that, in turn, can create a kugelblitz (no relation to the kegelblitz) we could conceivably create a big-bang? A reset button. The jolly, candy-like button?
-
"theoretically possible"...
So, next 5 years? -
Need a big big Magnifying glass.
-
What is a kugelblitz IS the big bang? What if society gets so advanced we can make one, but because if the heat it creates theoretical light matter, or hell, even makes new matter out of the broken laws of physics if the matter we fucked up, and it expands the universe immensely? Science fiction writers, get on this.

if you fused of lithium6 and lithium7 this would divide ALL energies simply put (6+1=7÷1). And propell the earth at the speed of light in its current orbit due the collapse of space and time, the dyson sphere is the Only chance to save momentum keeping this relationship. but the only way to do this would be to spiral the light out with dimples. These dimples should incorporate 7 inward flips with lithium6 inner lining this would reflect all of light back if the dimples matched the universal multacity. MOMENTUM. We will become the sun.
-
Thank you for this, I've thought on this quite some time ago and didn't know how little I knew about how it couldn't be.
-
Using light to trap light. Clever
-
You guys should talk about the Planck Temperature to have an idea how hot it needs to be to create a Kugelblitz
-
Note: You don't have to be exactly at the surface of a black hole (or below) to not be able to go back, the schwatzschild radius can be bigger than the object radius.
