Formation of Black Holes and Stellar Mass Ratio
This chapter discusses the formation of black holes and the ratio between black holes and regular stars. It explores the possibility of black holes coalescing and creating larger black holes. The episode also debates the rarity of black holes and the integration of the initial mass function of stars to determine the fraction of stars born with a mass higher than the threshold for black hole formation.
