Since gravity is stronger the closer you get to center mass, is it possible some neutron stars have a black hole inside?

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. A neutron star is a small, extremely dense star made up of closely packed neutrons.
A black hole could potentially form inside a neutron star if the star's core collapses under its own gravity. This could happen when a neutron star reaches the end of its lifespan and can no longer support its own mass.
It is currently not possible to directly detect a black hole inside a neutron star. However, scientists can infer the presence of a black hole by studying the effects of its gravity on the surrounding environment.
If a black hole were to form inside a neutron star, it would likely consume the star from the inside out, growing in size and strength. This process would release a tremendous amount of energy and could potentially lead to a supernova explosion.
There is currently no confirmed evidence of a black hole hiding inside a neutron star. However, scientists continue to study and search for potential instances of this phenomenon in the universe.
