Contents:
The spacetime manifold -- Spherical collapse -- Cosmic censorship -- Final fate of a massive star.
Summary: Physical phenomena in astrophysics involve gravitational collapse in a fundamental way. The final fate of a massive star when it collapses under its own gravity at the end of its life cycle is one of the most important questions in gravitation theory & relativistic astrophysics, & is the foundation of black hole physics.
