In astrophysics, an event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Wolfgang Rindler coined the term in the 1950s. [1]In 1784, John Michell proposed that gravity can be strong enough in the vicinity of massive compact objects that even light cannot escape. [2]
Clara is a 2018 Canadian-British science fiction film and the second feature film directed by Akash Sherman.The film stars husband and wife performers Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario, playing astrophysicist Isaac and itinerant artist Clara, who become close while searching for signs of intelligent life in the universe.
An event horizon is a boundary around a black hole inside which events cannot affect an outside observer. Event horizon or Event Horizon may also refer to: Event Horizon Telescope, a type of astronomical interferometer; Event Horizon, a 1997 science fiction/horror film; Event Horizon, a 2007 site installation by Antony Gormley
A study published in Physical Review Letters in 2024 argues that the formation of a kugelblitz is impossible due to dissipative quantum effects like vacuum polarization, which prevent sufficient energy buildup to create an event horizon. [3] The study concludes that such a phenomenon cannot occur in any realistic scenario within our universe.

The photon sphere is located farther from the center of a black hole than the event horizon. Within a photon sphere, it is possible to imagine a photon that is emitted (or reflected) from the back of one's head and, following an orbit of the black hole, is then intercepted by the person's eye, allowing one to see the back of the head, see e.g. [2]
The horizon problem (also known as the homogeneity problem) is a cosmological fine-tuning problem within the Big Bang model of the universe. It arises due to the difficulty in explaining the observed homogeneity of causally disconnected regions of space in the absence of a mechanism that sets the same initial conditions everywhere.
