You could take any amount of mass and in theory squeeze it hard enough to produce a black hole. The sun is not massive enough for the astrophysical processes to form a black hole, but if you squeezed the sun into a small enough space by some magic it you could form them. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
