too massive to be stable?

Hi, We all wonder about these things-some more than others. IMO, mass can increase to a point and not ever past that point. So, I don't believe in the concept that black holes can form although it is currently accepted in science as absolute fact. It seems to me way too much science is faith based rather than data based. Nothing wrong with faith-it ain't science though. People should keep faith and science from getting mixed up.

Jim, I couldn't agree with you more. My question is more about globular clusters. Could they be caused by a massive object and gravitational lensing? Depending on the amount of refracted starlight, could it be possible to calculate the gravitational field of the source? I would doubt it since one doesn't know which stars are being seen.

Even if globular clusters are not caused by lensing by a very massive object, they look to have a very high star density at their core. How dense are they?

My apologies for posting this in the wrong section and not in the gravitational lensing section.

MD, I don't think the topic ever came up here. Clusters and many other details are unexplored topics here. They are interesting in that so many stars exist is so small a volume. Another mystery in the story of the universe that needs a lot of work.
