The Sun probably won't form one, but higher mass stars do.

太阳可能不会形成它们，但大质量的恒星会。

A black hole is the ultimate end state for the core of a high mass star.

黑洞是大质量恒星核心的终极状。

It starts with the lowest mass stars, but as they leave even higher mass stars can be lost this way.

它从最小质量的恒星开始失，但随着它们的离开，甚至质量更大的恒星也会以这种方式流失。

But astronomers figured out they're actually stars that have physically collided and merged to form a single, higher mass star.

但是学家发现，它们实际上是恒星经过物理碰撞与合并，从而形成的单一的、更大质量的恒星。

The high mass star has lost its outer layers, and is a dense white dwarf.

这颗大质量的恒星已经失了外层，成为了一颗致密的白星。

A lot of the material leaving the higher mass star gets dumped on the red dwarf, which starts to grow.

很多离开大质量恒星的物质被转储到红星上，红星开始成长。

A higher mass star squeezes hydrogen harder, so it fuses far more quickly.

质量越高的恒星对氢的挤压就越厉害，所以它的聚变速度就快得多。

Very roughly speaking, we can divide stars into two groups: low mass stars and high mass stars.

非常粗略地说，我们可以把恒星分成两组：低质量恒星和高质量恒星。

They were so troubled in mind that they missed high Mass, and only went to the military service.

他们心事重重，错过弥撒，只役。

Because of its high mass, when the white dwarf passes in front of its mate its gravity bends and amplifies the larger star's light, just as Einstein said.

由于其高密度，当这颗白星运动到它同伴的前面时，自身重力发生弯曲并使得较大的那颗恒星发出的光线被增强，就如同爱因斯坦曾经描述的那样。

When we look at that binary system, we see a white dwarf star that is clearly more evolved than a high mass one, the opposite of what we expect!

当我们观察这个双星系统时，我们看到的是一颗白星，它的进化程度明显比大质量的恒星要高，这与我们的预期相反！

The last stage is known as High Mass Consumption – when your country is big enough that production becomes more about wants than needs.

最后一个阶段被称为大量消费——当你的国家足够大以至于生产变得更多地是为了需求而不是需求。

Those high mass stars have a much different and far more explosive fate than lower mass stars like the Sun… and trust me, we'll cover that in lots of fun detail soon.

那些大质量恒星的命运与像太阳这样的小质量恒星大不相同，爆炸的几率也大得多… … 相信我，我们很快就会详细讨论这个问题。

Way back in Episode 7, I talked about escape velocity, and it's about to become a major player in the unfolding events of the collapsing core of a high mass star.

早在第7集，我就谈到了逃逸速度，它将成为大质量恒星坍塌核心展开事件的主要因素。

The rate is so much higher, in fact, that even though they're a lot bigger than low mass stars, high mass stars run out of hydrogen fuel in their cores more quickly!

事实上，这一速率要高得多，即使它们比低质量恒星大得多，高质量恒星核心的氢燃料耗尽的速度也要快得多！

The performance of high mass on the continent must impress every mind, where a spark of fancy glows, with that awful melancholy, that sublime tenderness, so near a-kin to devotion.

大陆上的大型弥撒表演一定会给每一个人留下深刻印象，那里闪耀着幻想的火花，带着那种可怕的忧郁，那种崇高的柔情，如此接近于奉献。

When we last left the core of a high mass star, it was in a bad way: milliseconds ago it was fusing silicon into iron, but now it's collapsing under its own immensely powerful gravity.

当我们上次讲一个大质量恒星的核心时，情况很糟糕：几毫秒前它还在将硅聚变为铁，但突然它就在自己巨大的引力下崩塌。

Mauricio Babilonia was always in the audience at the concerts, at the movies, at high mass, and she did not have to see him to know that he was there, because the butterflies were always there.

Mauricio Babilonia 总是在音乐会、电影和大型弥撒中出现在观众席中，她不必看到他就知道他在那里，因为蝴蝶总是在那里。
