When a high-mass neutron star exceeds its Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit, which outcome occurs because of unchecked gravitational forces overcoming internal pressure?

💡 Explanation

Unrestrained spacetime curvature occurs because exceeding the TOV limit means gravity overwhelms all internal pressure support, therefore, the star collapses into a black hole exhibiting extreme curvature, rather than alternative scenarios involving pressure or expansion because these forces were already insufficient.
