Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde of astronomy huh?
Yeah, there is a small piece of information you're missing there that would make you giggle like Beavis and Butthead.
Right out of the gate wrong this week Tytower. Wrong before you even finished the first sentence.
Oh and wrong again. Two errors in the first sentence. This is a new level of underachievement for you.and some combine to form much bigger objects called black masses or black holes.
So lets start with: Small stars don't explode. At least not main sequence stars.
For a white dwarf to explode it requires a companion star to provide it with material.
Only large stars explode as supernovas. Smaller main sequence stars end their lives as white dwarfs.
Of the large stars, those with <~20 solar masses end up as neutron stars. Those that are bigger can form stellar mass black holes or blow themselves completely apart and leave nothing. White dwarfs also do this in type1A supernova and blow themselves apart leaving no remnant..
Ah, nope. If a white dwarf accretes matter and explodes, it leaves nothing. If a neutron star accretes matter and reaches the TOV limit, then yes it can collapse into a black hole. No explosion. A star like the sun. Nope Doesn't happen, can't accrete matter and even in the rear case of stellar mergers you end up with blue straggler stars, not black holes.[/B]When there is an abundance of smaller matter falling in and size increases gradually it seems a black mass can form . If the forces on a sun like object are too much it may explode spraying out matter in all directions ,some toward the black mass and some with enough force to escape the black mass.
Wow, you got something right for a change Tytower.That ejected matter probably forms the new planets and suns in other systems and obviously there is a lot of matter out there
That used to be a reasonable assumption, but not anymore. We're quite capable of detecting and measuring matter that does not consist of stars.that will never show until it falls into a ball capable of becoming a sun. That then lights it up so we can see it .
Neutral hydrogen ionised hydrogen, cold ionised hydrogen, helium and well "other stuff".
Tytower propels himself forward with a good pat on the back ignoring Newton's laws of motionSo my thoughts then were OK![]()
Are you using the royal "we"? Correction: You don't think Tytower is ever going to know.I don't think we are ever going to know!
You almost got that one right.
So to wrap it up, nothing new here again.
