Don't trust this. It's a joke reel showing a ridiculous DIY black hole from kitchen microwaves that ends in a crater with a floating cat.
Why we say that›
This absurd kitchen black hole recipe is pure comedy, not science.
The reel is clearly comedic and parodic. It mixes real physics terms with impossible household hacks for laughs. No real black hole forms from microwaves, and the explosive crater is cartoon fiction.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
All physics terms are real but twisted into absurdity. No source supports creating a black hole this way. It is impossible with household items and ends in cartoon comedy, not real destruction.
A real kugelblitz from concentrated light is theoretically discussed but a recent paper concludes it cannot form due to quantum effects.

Claims
1 false · 3 unchecked
- Couldn't check
Creating a real black hole requires particle colliders that are 27 kilometers long.
What's actually true
The Large Hadron Collider is a real 27 km ring used for high-energy particle collisions.
- Couldn't check
A QG Blitz is a black hole formed exclusively by concentrating light and radiation.
What's actually true
We couldn't verify this claim with a reliable source. No sources use or define QG Blitz. The closest idea is a kugelblitz from light, but a 2024 paper shows it is impossible due to quantum effects.
- False
Concentrating enough photons using neighborhood microwaves, parabolic antennas covered in aluminum foil, and magnetrons pointed at one point can reach Planck density and create a microscopic black hole singularity.
What's actually true
Household microwaves cannot reach the extreme energy needed. Creating a micro black hole would require technology far beyond current capabilities, like an accelerator 1000 light years across.
- Couldn't check
A low-mass micro black hole immediately activates Hawking radiation leading to an explosive wave that destroys appliances and creates a crater.
What's actually true
Theory says tiny black holes would emit Hawking radiation and end in a burst of energy. The kitchen explosion, crater, and zero-gravity float with cat whiskers are pure exaggeration for comedy.

It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets. - home.cern (2026) micro black holes are predicted to be larger emitters of radiation than larger black holes and should dissipate faster per their mass. Consequently, if small black holes exist ... they will lose mass more rapidly as they shrink, leading to a final cataclysm of high energy radiation alone. ... The rate of temperature increase is exponential, with the most likely endpoint being the dissolution of the black hole in a violent burst of gamma rays. - en.wikipedia.org (2003-01-24) It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference. - en.wikipedia.org (2003-11-05) In familiar three-dimensional gravity, the minimum energy of a microscopic black hole is 10^16 TeV (equivalent to 1.6 GJ or 444 kWh), which would have to be condensed into a region on the order of the Planck length. This is far beyond the limits of any current technology. It is estimated that to collide two particles to within a distance of a Planck length with currently achievable magnetic field strengths would require a ring accelerator about 1,000 light years in diameter. - en.wikipedia.org (2004-06-08) a new paper was published in the prestigious scientific journal, Physical Review Letters ... “No Black Holes from Light. ...

What else it leaves out (1)›
- The entire demonstration is fictional humor using a cartoon cat character and absurd props like foil-covered antennas on a tripod.
