Oomomo, Well, I haven't watched GOTG yet, so...
What if I put a flashlight into a box and then closed the box?
You get Schroedingers flashlight. Are the batteries still alive or not? :O
If you put a flashlight in a box and closed it, you'd have a box with a flashlight inside of it. wowzers
John Smith All the light would be trapped but cause the flashlight produces more and more the box keeps filling until you get a kugelblitz. Enjoy your Nobel prize.
Box takes the light in, heat up and radiates infrared light outisde (because that's what a heated up object do). The reflexion of the light in the box is irrelevant because it will get absorbed sooner or later because you cant have a perfectly reflective box.
Congrats, you just made a radiator out of a lightbulb.
Enjoy your nob--oh wait.
John Smith Firstly you should ask: Is the energy stored in the flashlight(more specifically, in the battery) sufficient to create a kugelblitz? If this energy can make a black hole within the volume of a box which should be bigger than the flashlight for your example to be reasonable, it would have turn flashlight itself into a black hole in the first place. ;)
a kugelblitz is monstrosity that should not and should never exist, lets make one.
imafireingmylasar Humans are incredibly stupid sometimes. "Lol there's this thing that destroys everything in the entire universe in a couple of seconds, lets make it."
Teabag Der Teebeutel somethings gotta destroy the universe, might as well be humans.
and we're so good at destroying things already the universe seems like the logical next step.
What? how do you guys know humans are destructive when you have not a single intelligent species to compare it too...
I already have one around myanus
Damien Green cause we can imagine intelligent species way better and kinder than us. If humanity was truly the best then we shouldn't really be able to imagine things better than us because we're as good as it gets. I mean I guess it could turn out that all the existing intelligent lives in universe are just complete dicks compared to us and we truly are the kindest species to ever exist, but you could argue that's kinda sad cause that would mean we're as good as it gets and that's not good cause we straight up suck and we know we straight up suck cause we know they're could be things way better than us and are capable of picturing it but just will nvr exist cause apparently we're as good as it gets in terms of universal morality.
"And at that extreme temperature, physics sort of stops working" WHAT.
Yup, there is a point, or rather an asymtote, in temperature where conventional physics don't apply anymore.
I remember that from a Vsauce video.
red toasti yep it is also a point where all the forces are equal (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak, etc) this is the point where quantum theory would step in. quantum theory at that point would effect the macro world instead of just the micro world
+Xenguy You can replace "Physics" by "our current model of how physics behave".
Our models have a certain applicable domains out of which they start not working.
It's better if you consider our current physics laws as approximation of what's really happening, each time getting more accurate when they evolve by new theories.
In some domains where temperature is just too high, it's bullshit to continue working with useless models hence the "physics sort of stops working"
Ya, allot of times physics stops working.
The first time physics stopped working was when you got really far from earth
so we had to switch Force of gravity = mg where g= 9.8m/s/s
to
Fg=GMm/r^2
where G is the universal gravitational constant.
then physics stopped working when things got really fast.
We had to replace all of the kinematic equations with whats known as the lorenz transforms.
t=(1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2))t'
and several other equations which followed
Then shit stopped working when it got really small and quantum mechanics was born
Now actually shit stopped working when it got really far AGAIN so were in the proses of replacing our theory of gravity
And finally shit doesnt work when it gets really really hot, and we dont know how to fix it.
Completely mind blowing; fantastic as always, guys.

If love is stronger then physics, Could you make a black hole out of Love?
No
Love is an illusion.
Love is an emotion of chemicals
With enough of those chemicals packed into a dense enough region of spacetime... I don't see why not.
What's love got to do, got to do with it? . . . . (sorry)
"And there's another problem ..."
Actually, several other problems. One is size vs wavelength - you can't pack a "bundle" of light into a space smaller than its wavelength. So for the "Titanic" kugelblitz, 50,000 T, squeezed into (1/8000) fm, the "light" would have to consist of very high-energy gamma rays, with photon energy E > 10 TeV.
So, any given black hole (or magnetospheric eternally collapsing object) must have a minimum diameter at least equal to the shortest wavelength among the particles that it captures?
This means that even matter based black holes have a minimum size, as we'd have to take into account the wavelengths of the matter that they're composed of.
@Chalebma laer You essentially rephrased my question as a statement.
I mean, I understood nothing but anything can happen
@@JohnAlbertRigali Perhaps a couple caveats are in order.
First of all, a photon doesn't inherently have "a" wavelength; all inertial frames are equally valid, and the same photon that's in the visible part of the spectrum in one frame, will be a gamma ray in another, and a radio wave in another.
Second, in a black hole, any matter or energy inside the event horizon, ends up in the central singularity in finite co-moving time, at which point, it has lost any attribute that distinguishes it from any other matter or energy, except its mass, angular momentum, and electric charge. So calling it a "kugelblitz" tells what the BH was formed from, but once formed, like any other BH, it is completely characterized by just those 3 properties. Any wavelength, whether of a photon or the deBroglie wavelength of some particle, becomes "erased information" once the mass/energy enters the BH.

kugelblitz is literally the best thing to call someone so full of love but so depressed
The tricky question is, what if all the photons that formed the black hole were traveling in the same direction. Would the black hole also travel at the speed of light?
They can't all be travelling in the same direction since they're converging on a single small volume.
Doug Rosengard You could start the converging process really far away. The directional difference could be potentially negligible. Or it could be just a theoretical question that is not achievable but should still have a result based on our understanding.
+pi314159265358978 Regardless of how far away they start they aren't traveling in the same direction and therefore their collective velocity when combined will be less then the velocity of the individual photons. It therefore can not be traveling at the speed of light.
Doug Rosengard What about using gravitational lensing? It might sound ridiculous but a toroid could focus the converging light beam.
pi314159265358978 Sure, you could theoretically use gravitational lensing as a focusing method. The photons though still would all be travelling in slightly different directions when they intersect so the resulting velocity vector for the entire group has to have a spatial magnitude that is less than the speed of light. It could be arbitrarily close to c, but it could never equal c.
Think of it this way. Let's say the resulting black hole has a velocity vector with with magnitude c. That vector is the compounded amalgamation of the numerous vectors of individual photons. Because not all the photons were traveling in that direction their speed in that directional component was less than c. Therefore in order for the final total vector to have a magnitude of c in that direction there must have also been photons whose speed component in that direction was greater than c. However since no photons travel faster than c in any direction the final total vector must have a total magnitude of less than c.
By the way even though the individual photons all still travel at speed c because of their interference with each other they don't travel in a straight line but instead bounce around or orbit around each other which makes the entire group of them travel slower than c. It's similar to how matter is actually made up of subatomic bits of energy that individually travel at the speed of light but because they bounce around between each other and the Higgs field are never traveling quite in a straight line and so never can quite travel at the speed of light.
LIGHT HOLE!!!
Exactly.

So since a Kugelblitz would be made of light, would it still be incredibly bright? Or since it's a black hole I guess light can't escape it then?
Never actually thought of that, trick question... 😕
The latter
It would be black. The definition of a black hole is something with surface gravity strong enough so that light can't escape it so no light from inside the black hole can reach your eye. :)
Light wouldn't be able to escape.
Once it becomes a black hole, it becomes indistinguishable from any other black hole. So no, the light won't escape.

One thing for sure will happen if a kugelblitz occurred: A syntax error
Since energy warps spacetime, does a photon traveling the universe give off a gravitational wave?
If so, maybe that could explain where at least some of the energy goes in cosmic redshift.
Ooh that's an interesting point. But with photons we'd be talking about quantum gravity, which is still theoretical and not understood by using the same maths that describe General Relativity. Most likely it seems that redshift is caused by the Doppler effect, but I suspect the expansion of space would have something to do with it too. Curious about gravitational waves from photons though, that's such a neat idea
@@opus5770 photons are packets of energy that's inversely proportional to wave length. After crossing the universe, if they were reflected in a mirror back to their source, they would return with less energy then when they first came into existance. This Is very different than throwing a base ball up in the air on the moon that as best we can tell on our scale, returns with every bit as much energy as was imparted to it when it was thrown.
Noether talked about symmetries giving rise to conservation laws and where symmetries are broken so are conservation laws. Because the universe expansion and the resulting redshift between galixies , is not time symetric, on a cosmic scale, energy is not conserved. Maybe there's a greater symmetry that needs to be discovered, a space time energy equlivence.
Change the comment to "newest" just to see those umbrella academy comments😅

Yea, it was in "How hot can it get?"
"If you want to tell someone you like that they are unimaginably hot, just call them a Kugelblitz. And as always, thanks for watching".

Jorge Euceda Surprised?
hahah war thunder
When I first thought of these, I imagined them as being formed from a series of focused lasers. I imagined all the light collecting from several matter to energy converters of unknown design, but were all focusing into a narrowing beam that at some point self focused through gravity into what I called a black hole laser with a cylindrical event horizon that traveled at the speed of light. Imagining what this beam would do when it interacted with matter was very exciting and I believe it would have an effect similar to the weapon used in the book ender's game.
Connecting that concept to the weapon in Ender's Game is a stroke of brilliance! I got a big smile reading that just now, thank you
Whoever edits these clips needs to stop jamming the tail end of every sentence with the beginning of the next. This really bad editing practice makes the videos tiresome to listen to.
My thoughts exactly. I find it a little irritating. It's like they want to make sure every single word and sentence is perfectly articulated, so they annoyingly do many 5-second takes and then join them together. It makes what they say seem very forced and unnatural, like Max Headroom.
My thoughts exactly. I couldn't have explained it better myself, other than to say it makes it very difficult to absorb the information, and above all else, is f***ing annoying. Shame, because this is the kind of info I like to subscribe to and support, bit this is virtually unwatchable.
I actually like it because it makes the pace feel brisk, but I imagine non-native english speakers might have trouble with this.
Not insulting your english abilities just giving my opinion
The rocket ship ad was on this video and I actually met the guy, Chris Hadfeild, twice in real life. Both times were while I was living in Wimbledon and he came to the Wimbledon theatre to give a presentation, and once when he came to my school to give the same presentation and I loved it both times he is an amazing person and worth listening to.
Know what really grinds my gears?
When people stack numbers (trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth...) instead of using scientific notation.
though you can't really appreciate the true nonsensical nature of big numbers with scientific notation
is there a possibility that such a thing already exist somewhere in this vast universe? if not then what about in multiverse/other universe?
Yes, well, it depends. You can argue the universe itself was a Kugelblitz at the moment of creation. Or that, if the universe is endless, some conditions exist somewhere to make it possible because if the universe is endless then everything must have happened in it. There is also a possibility that an alien civilization could have made one, or that they exist outside our lightcone, such that we will never, and have never been able to see one.
It's not like you would know what a black hole was initially made out of.
Possible, but likely rare, and if they can form naturally, they might not stay ''only light'' for long, as other things would be sucked in.
A lot of light would need to be concentrated in a very small space, which doesn't really fit anything we see happen naturally.
but we've only seen a small fraction of the universe, the conditions required may seem extreme from our standards, but the wildest extremes we have ever imagined are inspired by what we have observed actually happen in space.
Regardless a kugelblitz will turn into a normal blackhole the moment it absorbs something other than light.
Because the light can never escape it would just look like a normal black hole to us. If it sucked other stuff in the heaviest stuff would become the core and the lightest stuff like energy and light would be at the very outer layers, but we still only see blackness. If it was possible to hold and peel a black hole like a potato you could pretty much shave off an entire layer of energy, another layer of light, another layer of the most fundamental particles in the universe, until you get to the heaviest elements in the universe, but you can't really describe what form any matter becomes inside a black hole so the particles may look and be completely different to anything that exists outside of a black hole, maybe even light becomes something else.
I have no idea why I wrote all this, I know nothing about physics.
I once read a plan which would involve a partial dyson sphere (or dyson swarm) being constructed around the sun, and all the energy from that would be used to make one tiny Kugelblitz, which would be in turn used to make more Kugelblitzes, and solve our energy problems once and for all. Is this a dumb idea?

I guess this is what could be done with all of the energy collected from a Dyson Sphere.
still i dont think it will be even closely enough
Its still just one sun. In universe scale thats smaller than elementary particles to us
The kugelblitz would probably be smaller than the planck length
If we can figure out a way to get all the photons from the sun over the course an entire year or 2 to hit one spot... Maybe?
A Dyson Sphere would be structurally weak, we would need a Dyson Swarm built from Mercury

How do extreme temperatures effect physics? I'd like an explanation of how that happens.
Well extreme temperature is just extreme energy. That energy messes shit up.
At that point, the energy begins to warp and destroy space-time itself to put it simply. Fundamental particles are ripped apart and the four fundamental forces of the universe(Gravity, electromagnetism, ect.) act in ways that we cannot describe.
To put it bluntly, when you have an immense amount of energy in one place like that, everything goes to hell. *EVERYTHING!*
+Matthew Campbell I can give you an example from vsauce for how high energy can mess with our physics. As something gets hotter, the wavelength of the light it emits gets shorter. Now, according to our physics there is a limit to how short the wavelength of light can get, and that is the plank length. However there is no limit to how high the energy can get. So at some point, with energies trillions of times larger then anything we can hope to achieve, the object will get so hot it will start emitting light with a wavelength equal to the plank length. Now, what happens if you increase the temp by just 1 degree? We get a paradox. Our physics says that the wavelength can't get any shorter, yet our physics also says that the wavelength must get shorter. So what actually happens at this temperature? This is why Hank is saying "No one knows."
probably another big bang happens or some shit
I really hoped someone who watched the Strange Days At Black Hole High series watched this video. It explains why the floating Qi ball (the Kugelblitz) had unlimited energy.

Could you make a black hole out of Dark Matter?
If you had some way to corral the dark matter into a very small, very dense cluster, yes. That, however, is not really possible since Dark Matter doesn't interact except by gravity.
Do note that black holes can actually absorb dark matter, so all black holes are partially dark matter.
+NotaWalrus If dark matter doesn't interact except with gravity, shouldn't there be no nuclear forces supplying energy to keep large clumps from collapsing like our stars? Wouldn't dark matter form black holes much more readily?
17inchcorkscrew Okay, this is kinda awkward to explain, but basically, you know how every orbit in the universe in an ellipse?. If a pebble fall to the earth in an extremely elliptical orbit (to the point where the smaller axis of the ellipse is smaller than the Earth itself), it will just hit the ground and stop there, if you had a "pebble" of dark matter, however, it would just pass right through the ground and continue the ellipse. This limits how densely dark matter can clump just through mathematics, and the end result is that while DM does have areas of more or less density, it is spread much more thinly throughout the universe.
Another way to think about it: The stars and planets need nuclear and electromagnetic forces because the atoms in them are essentially stationary and at equilibrium, which gravity pulling down and EM/Strong forces pushing in all directions, therefore, it clumps into dense packets like planets and stars. Dark matter, on the other hand, only has gravity. So it always retains elliptical orbits and doesn't get "stuck" like regular matter does.
17inchcorkscrew It should be noted, however, that all dark matter clumps would eventually collapse into black holes due to the energy they lose to gravitational waves, but this would take longer than the lifespan of the universe.
The recent discoveries of gravitational waves makes it seem that large black holes are more common than we expected. It may be possible to explain dark matter entirely with black holes. They're not saying that this is certain or even plausible by any means, but it's an interesting idea worth taking a look at.
So you're saying there's a chance......

I don't think it would be, for lack of a better term, dense enough. From what I could gather, that energy would have to be funneled into a really small space somehow, like, say, a bowling ball or something.
Yes but that energy would have to collected and then redirected to create a kugelblitz. You basically need an immense light pulse (equaling about 10 seconds worth our suns output) to hit a target about the size of an atom from all directions at once.
Unnamed Shadow well, to create a kugelblitz, you would just have to produce light with a wave lenghth, smaller than the planck lenghth (10^-26 nm (~10^35 inch)). Than you just have to multiply the amount of the photons with the planck lenghth (10^-26 nm (~10^35 inch)) and you'vs got the size of the black hole you just created. But to get back to your question: It could be possible, but it's very unlikly. Keep in mind, that at a wave lenghth of about 1 nm (~3,8*10^8 inches) photons are able to punch electrons out of atoms, when they hit them. At the plank length, there would also be a heat of about 1,417*10^32°K. This would probably destroy every atom in the abservable universe. Soooooo it would be bad. Really bad, to even attempt to do that.
They are black holes surrounded by a high energy accretion disk
Im so glad i subscribed to this channel
I'm going to start with a pretty big magnifying glass and let you know if I make any progress.
To all thinking of trying this at home, may I suggest a good quality pair of sunglasses.
Came here from Vsauce button.
I learned the word "Kugelblitz" from having a German language Ball Lightning card from Magic the Gathering :)
Death Corridor
Kugelblitz sounds like a yummy dessert 🍨
For me a Kugelblitz always was the still not completely understood phenomenon that some people experience during lightning storms (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning). Never heard of it in terms of black holes.
People who are kugelblitzers will be contacted
this only really answered the question,"what if you made a kugelblitz the size of the Titanic?". What if you made it smaller, couldn't a microscopic kugelblitz be possible even for a small fraction of time? idk I'm an idiot someone explain this to me plz =/
problem is - the smaller you want the mass of this thing to be, the smaller the space in which you have to compress the light. Which - I assume - limits the wavelengths that can be used. Also its not like you can just fire a bunch of photons and hope they just happen to "hit each other" in the same spot at the same time. Not like you can even think of them as particles, so probably it would be more correct to say you fire photons to produce an extreme localized maximum in the interference of these waves. But the sharper and more extreme you want that maximum to be, the more high energy and frequency your waves need to be. So all in all it seems like quite the challenge to produce any kind of Kugelblitz. Making it smaller may reduce the amount of energy needed, but also complicates the whole experiment. There might be a sweet spot somewhere of "just the right size for the kinds of energy we can produce, yet still big enough to be feasible and of any use to us""
Death Corridor:
no sary never clear
Hey i searched for kugelblitz death corridor >:(
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.
Today I thought out a sweet spaceship design. Powered by a kugelblitz placed IN FRONT of the cockpit the gravitational pull of the black hole can act to counteract the G force of acceleration. So imagine a ship that can do 50+ Gs of acceleration without harming the pilot or even making him uncomfortable. Just have the flight capsule be on gimbals and slid along strong rails so the pilot can be moved closer or further away from it, canceling out the forces, since the kugelblitz pulls the body forward and the ships acceleration pulls it back. The physical limit would be based on the width of the human body and the maximum allowable forces
We could have clean energy and solve overpopulation in the future.
Jaco Sadler by throwing people in a giant light hole that's how

President Erdogan can be proud. Or president Al-Bagdadi.
We could have clean energy NOW if the military could stop sticking it's FAT ASS into science and bitching that they can't make plutonium for bombs from spent thorium fuel.
actually... it’s the verifier of death corridor 🙄🙄🙄
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.
wtf did i just read
Something about fusing isotopes of lithium in a weird geometry with a lot of techno babble that is likely debunked pseudoscience in badly broken English
bayc420 probably science
"Send it"
"space turns soupy, gravity is /nonsense/......"
You guys should talk about the Planck Temperature to have an idea how hot it needs to be to create a Kugelblitz
Actually the verifier of death corridor, this entire video is wrong
**Kugelblitz is formed**
**Physics stopped working**
**BAM**
**FATAL ERROR**
So all it takes for Kügelblitz to form is to just get enough energy in a small space warm enough to exceed Planck's temperature (theoretical heat of the big bang). Theoretical astrophysics is so ridiculous yet fascinating sometimes
"Ball Lightning"? Oh, you mean the 400 Druid? Yeah, classic upgrade, i don't see it often but I really like it.
And millions of nerdy pickup lines were made at this point.
