It seems impossible for light alone to form a black hole: if energy and mass are the same, as Albert Einstein's theory states, it should be possible to create a region of light dense enough to collapse into a black hole, but on closer inspection quantum effects prove that this doesn't happen.
The idea of ​​black holes forming by the collapse of light (called Kugelblitz) has been around for decades, and researchers have looked at everything from how black holes are created to how they…
