This month was full of presentations and college applications, but that did not stop me from learning. I found an awesome video that explained how exactly a black hole is formed, starting from when the star dies. Essentially, black holes are created when a large star collapses under the force of gravity having run out of nuclear fuel, collapsed core of a giant star forms a black hole. Stars have to be at least 10 times larger than our sun for their own gravity to crush them creating super-nova. Some stars are even bigger than that, causing the birth of black holes. The spectacular scenes of a this birth have been observed many times through telescopes.
I currently am still searching and emailing prospective mentors. Wish me luck :)

Thanks for the video. I think I have a better idea of the gravity moving inward. But it is the pull of gravity on the outer parts that is pushing inward, I think. (I know gravity is still quite a mystery. I'm trying to understand!)
