What reason(s) exist to suppose that all degeneracy pressures can be overcome in Black-Hole formation?
In models of stellar collapse to a black hole, it is a given that density increases without bound towards a singularity. Electron degeneracy I get. Neutron degeneracy I get. I assume there's some ...

Why can't a stable star have radius 1 < r < 9/8 its Schwarzschild radius?
From http://www.spacetimetravel.org/ssm/ssm.html :
A mass of 1.78 [in geometric units] corresponds to a ratio of radius to Schwarzschild radius of 9/8. Theory predicts that a smaller ratio is not ...
