The blast from this star may have triggered the gravitational collapse of the cloud that formed the Sun.

爆炸物在万有引力作用下坍塌中央形成了太阳。

A neutron star is thought to form after the gravitational collapse of a larger star that explodes at the end of its life.

中子星被认为是在一颗更大的恒星在生命末期爆炸的引力坍缩后形成的。

In 1965 I read about Penrose's theorem that any body undergoing gravitational collapse must eventually form a singularity.

1965 年，我读到彭罗斯定理，即任何经历引力坍缩的物体最终都必须形成一个奇点。

The existence of radiation from black holes seems to imply that gravitational collapse is not as final and irreversible as we once thought.

黑洞辐射的存在似乎暗示着引力坍缩并不像我们曾经认为的那样是最终的和不可逆转的。

The researchers said if the black hole formed the traditional way – from the gravitational collapse of a star – that star would have been at least 20 times the mass of our sun.

研究人员表示，如果该黑洞以传统的方式——恒星的引力坍塌——形成，那么这颗恒星的质量至少是太阳质量的20倍。

After the war the problem of gravitational collapse was largely forgotten as most scientists became caught up in what happens on the scale of the atom and its nucleus.

战后引力坍缩的问题基本上被遗忘了，因为大多数科学家开始关注原子及其原子核尺度上发生的事情。

Hence Oppenheimer was deemed not to have warranted a Nobel Prize for his individual contributions to science, though some have speculated that his work on gravitational collapse was worthy of one.

因此，奥本海默被认为不应因其个人对科学的贡献而获得诺贝尔奖，尽管有些人推测他在引力坍缩方面的工作值得获得诺贝尔奖。

The only mechanism that people could think of that would produce such large quantities of energy seemed to be the gravitational collapse not just of a star but of a whole central region of a galaxy.

人们能想到的唯一会产生如此大量能量的机制似乎不仅是恒星的引力坍缩，而且是整个星系中心区域的引力坍缩。
