Hello, I have a few questions about black holes

Me and a friend of mine, are working on a presentation about black holes.

We've thought of a few good questions we wanted to answer in our presenattion.
Most of them we could answer ourselves, but we're struggeling on anwsering the question:
What are the requirements for a star to become a black hole?
25 replies and 3 images submitted. Click here to view.
>>
OP here, about the question, more detailed question: Why dont the stars become white dwarfs or neutronstars?
>>
From what I've read, it needs to be a star several magnitudes larger than our sun with a massive amount of Iron at its core. This contributes to a point of density and describes an incredibly high pressure core during the super nova that can collapse into a black hole.

Our sin cant do this and in a few billion years, will die a white dwarf.
>>
>>7778769
White dwarfs do become neutron stars, which are stabilised against further collapse by degeneracy pressure. However a white dwarf 3 times heavier than the sun will always collapse into a black hole (cf. Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit).

Since a space elevator is out of the question, due to the fact humans suck at making materials strong enough to do it, why not make a space mountain?

Just build a mega mountain that reaches to or past the Karman line. Then people can WALK to space!

Imagine a 100km high man made mega mountain (Mount Everest altitude is only 29km high)
Edge and Base Cone Length 115.47km long (based on an equilateral triangle)
Volume: 349,000km cubed/83729.5527 miles cubed
Weight: 92.4 million megatons (0.0000015% of the weight of the Earth or 184.8 billion 'BelAZ 75710'...

Material science isn't simply there to build such an object.

Carbon nanotube production is still in its infancy. Metallic foams and programmable buckyballs is, again, still being worked on.

And despite ambitious attempts by billionaires to build arcologies, we don't have anything taller than what's sitting in Malaysia. We don't have best building practices down yet.

>Material science isn't simply there to build such an object.

It is. You literally just pile shit up in the form of a giant mountain. The real problem is that it will sink. That is, make the entire Earth's crust sink in that spot. The more you pile, the more it sinks. The only way for it to work is to have a completely cold core in the Earth and everything be solid under the crust. You'd always end up with a Mount Everest-sized tip sticking up out of the crust regardless...

Two problems:

1) We can't build anything remotely that high. The square cube law (the same reason an ant can lift many times its own weight and you can't) applies to structures too. Mount Everest is already pretty close to the theoretical limit for how tall a mountain can be without collapsing under its own weight. That's why planets are round in the first place! If you built it out of some exotic material you could get higher, but not THAT high.

2) Even if you could, it wouldn't make space travel easier. Getting to space is about moving fast,...

Pursue an undergraduate degree in biology. If a school by you has an actual degree in botany, go for that. Take upper level plant biology courses and try to engage in some kind of plant research while there, if possible.

Pursue a PhD in Plant Biology, or another field of biology, using plants as a model system or an organism of interest.

You're welcome.

I'm going into year 12 this year. The difference between maths b and c in year 11 is insane, if you're any good you should be able to achieve close to perfect marks in maths b without study but in order to do well in maths c you'll need to work.
