If a star is to eventually form a stellar black hole at any point in its life cycle what must happen? A. Gravity must be strong enough to compress all its material to be smaller than its schwartzchild radius B. it must pass by a supermassive black hole and tidal forces will do the rest C. Gravity must expand it so it can over power the nuclear forces that compress it and keep it from exploding by giving off all its heat D. A star will always have the same mass and radius and the only black holes that exist are ones that have existed shortly after the big bang
