  • Spaghettification - is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes in a very strong non-homogeneous gravitational field; it is caused by extreme tidal forces (i.e. near black holes).
    It's a funny word for such a seriously damaging effect. 
  • Kugelblitz -  is a concentration of light so intense that it forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped: according to general relativity, if enough radiation is aimed into a region, the concentration of energy can warp space-time enough for the region to become a black hole.
    Basically, it's a black hole that was created out of pure energy and it has a temperature that transcends the one that was present just after the Big Bang.
    Stay chill, it's theoretical.
