at the same time as nuclear reactions end, the midsection of a astounding celeb is supported by degenerate electrions, a twin of white dwarfs. For stars with 10 photo voltaic thousands, this midsection is iron. there is now no longer any power being generated from a white dwarf, yet nuclear fusion continues to be taking position, coming up ashes, including to the mass of the celeb. Electrons and the nuclei in a stellar midsection may be crowded compared to the air on your room, yet there continues to be a lot of area between them. The electrons before each and every thing withstand being crowded closer at the same time, so it shrinks in common words a small quantity before each and every thing. Ultimatly, the iron midsection reaches a mass so great (from the ashes) that even degenerate electrons won't be able to help it. some electrons are really squeezed into the atomic nuclei, the position it combines with protons to form nuetrons. some electrons are literally lengthy previous, so the midsection now no longer can withstand the crushing mass of the celebs outer layers, and begins to shrink immediately. further and extra electrons grow to be neutrons. Neutrons, like electrons, strongly withstand being interior an identical position. The rigidity which could be exerted by such degenerate neutrons are a lot more beneficial than degenerate electrons, and may withstand extra fall down. If the collapsing midsection has decrease than 3 photo voltaic thousands, it may attain a competent state as a overwhelmed ball made from oftentimes neutrons, called a Neutron celeb. If the mass is more beneficial than this decrease (more beneficial than 3 photo voltaic thousands) even the degenerate neutrons won't be able to end the midsection into collapsing into some thing unbelievably compressed (a black hollow).

Nothing. A neutron star is always becoming more and more dense from its gravitational field. This process of collapsing into a black hole takes a very long time.
Black holes are a very interesting thing. From what I have come to believe, black holes are transcending our 3-dimensional world. Basically bending our space time so much they are coming close to touching anoter space time, such as a parallel universe.

Your question was answered above but here is a link to help you find out more info on neutron stars. It briefly mentions the neutron degeneracy used by a previous poster.

It's a quantum effect called neutron degeneracy. Basically, it puts a limit on how densely neutrons can be packed.
