RT Journal Article T1 No black holes from light A1 Álvarez Domínguez, Álvaro A1 Garay Elizondo, Luis Javier A1 Martín Martínez, Eduardo A1 Polo Gómez, José AB We show that it is not possible to concentrate enough light to precipitate the formation of an event horizon. We argue that the dissipative quantum effects coming from the self-interaction of light (such as vacuum polarization) are enough to prevent any meaningful buildup of energy that could create a black hole in any realistic scenario.
