In 1935, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar challenged the prevailing theory of the day by suggesting that not all stars die the same death. He proposed that stars with more than 1.4 times the mass of the sun were compressed by their own gravitational forces into dense, dark objects. Winner of the 1983 Nobe...
