Life Cycle of Stars and Formation of Black Holes

The chapter explores the life cycle of stars, discussing how they evolve from protostars to red giants and eventually form white dwarfs. It also delves into the concept of electron degenerate matter in white dwarfs and explains the explosive nature of supernovas in high-mass stars. The conversation provides insights into the formation and characteristics of black holes, reassuring that no stars within a lethal range are expected to go supernova near us.
