Hi,
I somewhat know the basics about black holes. Tell me if I'm wrong.
--A black hole is formed when a supermassive star (one of many theories of the formation of black holes) burns out due to exhausted fusion reactions. It can no longer support its own mass and the core collapses in on itself. The radius of the core must be compressed to a value known as the Schwarzschild Radius before it can become a black hole.--
So far is that correct?
I've heard a bit about the Photon Sphere of the singularity. What is the photon sphere? And is the singularity the center of a black hole?
Thanks,
