When the sun is collapsed will it form a black hole?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No, it is not massive enough. It will end up as a white dwarf.
 
When the sun is beginning to collapse will it get smaller and denser?
 
Yes it will until some backpressure will kick into stop further collapse , in large stars this backpressure can't fight back the huge mass so the gravity wins and the whole mass and all the leftovers collapse into a black hole but in mass that are smaller than the minimum limit to form a black hole they don't collapse to a black hole because the mass is not big enough for gravity to take over the pressures exerted by atoms in the case of white dwarfs - electrons.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
