Can black holes move at the speed of light? If so, what would its curvature look like? [closed]

This question has more to do with the curvature of moving bodies but I will first start with this. If a photon has enough energy, then it could presumably become a black hole (kugelblitz). I see no ...

Photons past the event horizon [duplicate]

What would happen if, beneath the event horizon, a photon was emitted outwards along the radius of the black hole? It's speed can't change to any observer in any reference frame, but it surely cannot ...

Does light with a wavelength on the Planck scale become a self-trapping black hole?

As the wavelength of a photon shrinks, its energy rises, and so its mass rises (using $E=hc/\lambda$ and $m=E/c^2$). On calculating the Schwarzschild radius for a photon based on its mass derived from ...
