Is There a Black Hole?

If we just had gravity and then these other forces to get things to clump, then everything would go straight to a black hole. A star only exists and burns for so many billions of years because it overcomes gravity. The fusion at the core that gives us the light that makes the stars twinkle, also pushes back against the stuff inside the star so that it doesn't collapse. There are some other ways to avoid collapsing into a black hole. Like many stars use fusion to avoid gravity. But for some of these other objects, there are other ways to overcome gravity and prevent collapsing into a black Hole.
