A star, more than three times the size of our sun, ought to end its life, how? With a collapse. The gravitational forces of the entire mass overcoming the electromagnetic forces of the individual atoms, and so collapsing inwards. If the star is massive enough, it will continue this collapse, creating a black hole, where the warping of time-space is so great that nothing can escape, not even the light. It gets smaller and smaller. The star, in fact, gets denser as atoms, even subatomic particles get literally crushed into smaller and smaller space. And at its end point what we are left with? A space time singularity. Space and time come to a stop.
一颗比太阳大三倍的恒星会如何结束一生呢? 会发生坍缩。 全部质量的引力克服了原子间的电磁力, 于是向内坍缩。 如果这颗恒星的质量足够大, 便会持续坍缩, 形成黑洞。 黑洞中的时空扭曲极其强大, 任何东西都无法逃离, 即便是光也会变得越来越小。 事实上, 恒星的密度在变大, 因为原子甚至亚原子都被挤压进越来越小的空间。 那么最终我们会得到什么呢? 一个时空奇点。 时间与空间趋于停滞。
