← ScienceWhich consequence results when stellar mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit?
A)Uncontrollable spacetime curvature accelerates collapse✓
B)Neutron degeneracy pressure arrests collapse
C)Thermonuclear ignition halts accretion
D)Gravitational waves disperse stellar material
💡 Explanation
Uncontrollable spacetime curvature accelerates collapse because gravity overwhelms all opposing forces when the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit is reached given the mass. This produces runaway curvature with black hole formation, rather than stabilization, therefore B, C, and E are incorrect.
