Birth Star:
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores. About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, including the sun, are main sequence stars. These stars can range from about a tenth of the mass of the sun to up to 200 times as massive. Stars start their lives as clouds of dust and gas.
Death Star:
Dense regions in the clouds collapse and form "protostars". Initially, the gravitational energy of the collapsing star is the source of its energy. Once the star contracts enough that its central core can burn hydrogen to helium, it becomes a "main sequence" star.
What are the choices ?
Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation. A few of them might be . . .
-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.
-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.
-- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .
If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).
-- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .
If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.
-- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)
-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.
Those forces are exactly equal.
Gravity always works as a pair of <em>EQUAL</em> forces ... one in each direction
between two masses. Your weight on the Earth is exactly the same as
the Earth's weight on you.
