A black swan is an unpredictable event such as: economic collapse, disease outbreak, nuclear attack, natural disaster, cyber attack, power grid failure, or EMP, all of which have severe consequences.
These events are characterized by their extreme rarity, unpredictability, and dire impact across every facet of life. The term was popularized by finance professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb who wrote about the idea of a black swan event in his 2007 book prior to the 2008 financial crisis.
