Optical Black Hole
An optical black hole is a type of artificially produced phenomenon in which light is slowed significantly by passing it through an ultra-low temperature Bose-Einstein condensate that is itself spinning faster than the speed of light within to create a vortex capable of trapping the light behind an event horizon just as would an astronomical black hole.
