SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the relationship between stellar evolution and the formation of black holes, particularly questioning the transition from quark stars to black holes. It highlights the concept of a quark star being described as a "single hadron" and explores the implications of gravity's overwhelming strength preventing such a transformation. The conversation concludes that black holes cannot simply be considered as single hadrons due to their extreme gravitational forces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stellar evolution stages: Star, White Dwarf, Neutron Star, Quark Star, Black Hole
  • Familiarity with particle physics concepts, particularly hadrons
  • Knowledge of gravitational physics and its effects on matter
  • Basic comprehension of quantum mechanics and wave-particle duality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and characteristics of quark stars
  • Study the mechanics of black hole formation and the role of gravity
  • Explore the concept of hadrons and their significance in particle physics
  • Investigate the implications of wave-particle duality in extreme gravitational environments
USEFUL FOR

Astrophysicists, particle physicists, and anyone interested in the advanced concepts of stellar evolution and black hole formation.

I was thinking about the relation Star -> White Darf -> Neutron Star -> Quark Star -> Black Hole and I wondered why aren't Black Holes studied as a final stage of that sequence since in Literature a Quark Star is often described as a "Single Hadron".

But then it striked me. Let's assume we do have single hadron, what would make it "shrink" into a Black Hole? And can it even shrink or is it "ready" due to its particle-wave quality a point? For all intends and purposes, could Black Holes be just a single hadron?

Nope, the gravity is too strong.
