Yes, we have photos of collapsed stars, some of which were above the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit and became black holes. When they are not above it, they either become white dwarf or neutron stars.
- GoblinSlayer 2y agoVolkoff's calculation demonstrates that a star above the limit begins to collapse. It doesn't support the claim that they already became black holes, especially this can't happen globally with galilean synchronism even under slightly unrealistic assumptions. In the end, it's a mathematical calculation under assumptions; if you want to connect it to reality, you need to understand what it claims exactly and estimate what error is introduced by difference between its assumptions and reality.
