Contraction driven by self-gravity; sufficiently compact collapse can form trapped regions and a black hole, depending on matter and global conditions.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Einstein’s equation governs the dynamical geometry and matter involved in relativistic collapse.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
einstein-general-relativitynasa-black-holesEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Sufficiently compact collapse can produce a trapped black-hole region.
A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.
