00:00The massive black hole system, VFTS-243, strips material from its companion star.
00:07Hot stellar material spirals inward across millions of miles, feeding an invisible black hole.
00:13Standard physics says dying heavy stars must trigger massive supernova blasts,
00:18but this giant just vanishes silently.
00:21The collapsing core slides straight inward through its own event horizon
00:26without triggering any outward shockwave eruption.
00:29This silent collapse rewrites stellar evolution
00:32because the massive black hole in VFTS-243 formed without a traditional supernova.
