The demise of massive stars results in black holes because the gravity of the star overwhelms the natural pressure that the star maintains to sustain its form. When the pressure from nuclear reactions drops, gravity overwhelms and destroys the star's core, and the star's various layers are hurled off into space, resulting in a supernova. The rest of the core collapses, leaving a place overrun by density and devoid of volume — a black hole.

Many people are unaware of how intelligent pigeons are.

The pigeons were able to "diagnose" brand new biopsies that they had never seen before after being trained how to differentiate between the two. A pigeon by itself had an accuracy of 85% on average. Their accuracy as a group approached 99%, which is expected of a doctor.
