Realizing that pressure, as force/area, represents an energy density, as energy/volume, we see that a certain pressure within a volume, R3, will give rise to a mass, M = pR3/c2, which will create a gravitational pressure, GM2/R2

Oops. The last term should be energy/volume or GM2/R/R3 = GM2/R4

Then

GM2/R4 > p = Mc2/R3 becomes GM/c2 > R
