The book delves into the critical relationship between gravitational collapse and the fate of massive stars, central to understanding black hole physics and gravitational theory. It explores how general relativity leads to space-time singularities and considers the potential role of quantum gravity in addressing these singularities. A thorough review of recent research and detailed examples of collapse models are provided, making it a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in gravitation physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
