Welcome! Thank you for visiting my site!
I am obsessed with secrets and death- particularly the secrets of stellar death! Central to these fascinations is the role gravity plays in the process.
When a star dies, the surrounding environment is so hot, and so dense, even the most energetic waves ( gamma rays) take hours to escape. In these moments, a massive star's gravity overcomes all other fundamental forces, and crushes itself down to the width of a city (~10km, a neutron star ) or smaller than this period: . (a black hole).
