I have a question about the formation of black holes.
Correct me if I am wrong but as I understand it, if you have a massive enough star that when its used up all its fuel and collapses, it will overcome the exclusion principle and crush itself into a black hole.
My question is, during this collapse, doesn't the core of the star get hot enough for it to become a supernova?
Basically, while the core is collapsing, on its way to becoming a black hole, shouldn't the star also go supernova? and if it does, how do we end up with a black hole after the star went bang?
Or is there another size bracket there so that if a star is within a certain range for mass, it will go supernova but if its bigger then it just collapses into a black hole faster than it has a chance to become a supernova?
Thanks
