Black holes happen when a star dies and collapses.
1:50:36 - 1:52:15 (01:39)
Summary
Black holes happen when a star dies and collapses. The fusion process that makes heat and light in stars undergoes a supernova after burning through hydrogen, helium, and heavier elements up to iron, when fusion no longer works.
