What happens when a star undergoes gravitational collapse? @Qmechanic: But that question deals with an irreversible collapse into a black-hole whereas this question looks at a temporary collapse |

How long does a supernova last? @MichaelBrown: Wouldn't the glow be restricted to core explosion? The debris wouldn't glow, would it? |

How does a star ignite? @dmckee: It does appear to be a non-sequitur... My thoughts were something like - "Electron sheds it's velocity and photoons are generated. Hang on, what happens if an electron can not move at it's rated velocity? It would take a lot of energy to slow an electron down ... what about gravity? Say in the core of a star cloud?" I wasn't consciously thinking along these lines - it was sort-of like jumping to conclusions. )+: |

Do particles in the solar core travel at the same speed as they would in vacuum? @all: I ought to have mentioned the question just 'popped' into my head whilst going through the wikipedia article. A background in high-school physics or thereabouts is what i have formally. But through discussions on here - the use of 'mean free path' adds to my informal repertoire; I'll have to do a bit of reading to make it out. p.s. Apologies if my usage of 'Sol' for our Star offended any sensibilities. It's a habit ... |
