Black holes are the elementary particles of gravity, the final state of sufficiently massive stars and of energetic collisions. With a forty-year long history, black hole physics is a fully-blossomed field which promises to embrace several branches of theoretical physics. Here I review the main developments in highly dynamical black holes with an emphasis on high energy black hole collisions and probes of particle physics via superradiance. This write-up, rather than being a collection of well known results, is intended to highlight open issues and the most intriguing results.

  1. Nonlinear Dynamics near the Threshold of Gravitational Collapse

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Perturbation theory around flat space fails before black hole formation once peak luminosity exceeds ~10^-2 L_Planck; near criticality the spectrum flattens to 1/ω, matching the prediction from discrete self-similarity.

  2. The weight of light: colliding pulses of radiation in General Relativity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Focused pulses of electromagnetic radiation can self-gravitate into black holes and, just below the collapse threshold, into ultracompact horizonless states whose measured compactness exceeds the hoop-conjecture value.

  3. Anisotropic Neutrino Emission from Spinning, Moving, and Charged Primordial Black Holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Kerr-Newman black holes moving relativistically emit neutrinos in a narrow forward cone, a combination of known spin and Doppler effects.
