Title: OOC: Planet Go Down the Hole
Post by: @Pokemon Master Red on March 14, 2010, 09:42:52 PM

OOC:I dont think the size has anything to do with it, actually...Any star can become a Black Hole, so long as it collapses into itself. I think.

(Assuming you're correct Red, a larger star would, theoretically, create a larger or more powerful black hole.)

Actually, it has to  be a big star, or it'll just supernova. It has to be big enough so when it dies, it will have enough density to create a black hole.
And, WILL YOU PLEASE, learn to use the OOC section? That's what it's for, to make an OOC topic and start conversations, arguments, side notes, etc.
Keeping the IC clean.

"Our Sun can never become a black hole. However, if the star is more massive than something like 3 to 5 solar masses, its gravitational forces will be larger, and its internal degenerate electron pressure will never be sufficient to stop its collapse. It turns out that neutrons can also obey the exclusion principle and neutrons will be produced in abundance when a massive star collpses, but even neutron degeneracy cannot stop the collapse of massive stars --- anything over 3 to 5 solar masses cannot be stopped, it will become a black hole according to current thinking.
