Comment on "No Black Holes from Light" [arXiv:2405.02389]
Abraham Loeb (Harvard)

TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that black holes can be composed of light when gravity is incorporated into the analysis, extending previous work that did not consider gravitational effects.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that gravity enables the formation of black holes from light, building upon and extending prior non-gravitational models.
Findings
Black holes can be formed from light when gravity is included.
Gravity plays a crucial role in light-based black hole formation.
The analysis bridges light-based models with gravitational effects.
Abstract
We show that black holes can be made of light by adding gravity to the discussion of Alvarez-Dominguez et al., arXiv:2405.02389 [PRL 130, 041401 (2024)].
