The article mentioned, "Mersini-Houghton shows that by giving off this radiation, the star also sheds mass. So much so that as it shrinks it no longer has the density to become a black hole." If anyone else wondered how the radiation of massless particles could result in the reduction of mass, I've found a resource with simple explanations for a layperson like myself. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/mass-lost-by-the-sun-by-emitting-radiation.708814/ https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/mass-lost-by-the-sun-b...
