If the star is massive enough, the imploding gases gather such momentum as they fall that they virtually crush themselves out of existence at the stellar center.

Its mass becomes infinitely dense, yet occupies no space. Its gravitational pull becomes so intense that no light or other radiation can escape from it. Thus the star cannot be detected by conventional observations...
