Phalirums

Phalirums are a hypothetical class of celestial bodies, theorized to exist in extremely dense stellar nebulae. Their formation is thought to be linked to the gravitational collapse of gas and dust clouds where conventional star formation is inhibited due to intense pressure and radiation. Instead of igniting nuclear fusion, these proto-objects are believed to accumulate matter and develop a highly compressed core, potentially composed of exotic forms of matter not yet observed.

The defining characteristic of a phalrum is its hypothetical ability to absorb ambient energy, including light and radiation, without emitting significant amounts of its own. This would make them virtually invisible to conventional astronomical instruments, appearing as voids or dark patches within nebulae. Their gravitational influence would still be detectable, however, leading to observable distortions in the surrounding gas and dust.

The study of phalrums remains purely theoretical, as no direct observational evidence has been found to confirm their existence. They represent a speculative endpoint in the early stages of stellar evolution, an alternative to the birth of stars. Further advancements in observational technology and theoretical modeling of extreme astrophysical environments are necessary to either support or refute the existence of these enigmatic objects.
