They need the right kind of things to hang it on and they need the right things to keep it going. We should not give them those things at the time they need them if we can avoid it.
There are no timeless rules on this, we have to take the concrete situation.
In my view, having followed it in detail, the media had a problem after a few days in the Cowley situation and needed a fresh angle to keep it going. In partipones the complete collapse of the gas cloud, or star, under its own gravitational pull.
Eventually, when the hydrogen starts to run out, the collapse of the star starts again.
A star as big as the Sun would stop collapsing when all the atoms were touching each other, making an object the size of the earth but as heavy as the sun. A matchbox-full would weigh about 5 tonnes.
If it was twice as large as the Sun, the star would keep collapsing until the atoms had been crushed. Electrons and protons , would be squashed together to make neutrons. This neutron star would measure about 20 kilometres across. A matchbox full would weigh a million tonnes.
But if it was more than three times the mass of the sun, then the collapse of the exhausted star would end only when all the matter was concentrated at a single point.
The gravitational pull of this concentrated matter would be so great that not only would it suck into it any other matter
