What ultimate gravitational fate awaits the core remnant of the truly most massive stars (exceeding approximately 25 M☉ at birth)?
Answer
A Black Hole
For the most massive progenitors, the core remnant is so heavy that no known force can halt its collapse, resulting in a Black Hole where gravity is inescapable.
