A true black hole is the most interesting object in astronomy. Think of it as an immensely, unimaginably powerful aggregation of nothingness.

Goes back to the old Hoover Vaccummatic theory of the Universe. Boils down to "Black Holes Suck"

"I don't see how something like a massive star... can make a transition into something with as bizarre a structure as a gravastar."

As I recall, black holes were also considered bizarre and beyond liklihood when they were first proposed.

I wonder, though, if a molecular cloud has the same basic properties as a gravastar, yet in growing over time it has become more stable?
