Thread: What about gravity?

Since the core is so massive for its relatively small size, gravity's power is multiplied. If it is massif enough, it will literally collapse its way out of existence to form an infinately small dot (called a singularity) that is many times more massive than the Sun.

Did anyone else notice how my spelling of the word "massive" changed throughout the paragraph? Weird ...

Oh if I could only remember the name of theory of the universe's creation of which I believe! I chose it to belief in instead of the big bang theory because I just don't think the big bang has enough supporting evidence.

I think instead of using the word massive, you should have used the word dense. Just saying.

Nope, density means how tightly packed together the molecules are, while mass means how many molecules there are. An object can be very dense, but if it contains little matter, then it isn't massive. The force of gravity gets stronger with every particle that adds its mass to a whole, not to how close these particles are .
