As I understand it, a Type II supernova occurs because the collapsing neutonium core of a dying large star overshoots its stable neutron degenerate radius and therefore rebounds, blasting the leftovers out into space. Is this correct?
How, then, does a dying extremely massive star create a supernova? I did not think that a black hole would (or could) rebound.
