Abstract

We derive an order of magnitude estimate for the rate at which ordinary thermal fluctuations in a box filled with radiation will produce black holes. Our results are compared with a recent calculation (using euclidean quantum gravity) of Gross, Perry and Yaffe for the rate of formation of black holes at the equilibrium mass M_eq = 1 8πT₀.
