man i wouldnt really want either. but i suppose a liposuction would have less risk of making me look like a mutant. i dont have anything to liposuck, really...so it shouldnt take long either.
which definition of "white dwarf" is your favorite?
------------------------------
White dwarfs are stable because the inward pull of gravity is balanced by the degeneracy pressure of the star's electrons. (This should not be confused with the electrical repulsion of electrons, which maintains the volume of normal matter, but is a consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle.) With no fuel left to burn, the star radiates its remaining heat into space for many millions of years.
In the end, all that remains is a cold dark mass sometimes called a black dwarf. However, the universe is not old enough for any black dwarf stars to exist.
If the white dwarf's mass increases above the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.4 solar masses, then electron degeneracy pressure fails and the star collapses. Mass transfer in a binary system may cause such an increase in mass. This causes the white dwarf to be blasted apart in a type Ia supernova. These supernovae may be many times more powerful than the type II supernova marking the death of a massive star. Hence, no white dwarf more massive than 1.4 solar masses can exist; electron degeneracy pressure isn't strong enough.
If a white dwarf forms a close binary system with another star, hydrogen from the larger companion may accrete around and onto a white dwarf until it gets hot enough to fuse in a runaway reaction, although the white dwarf remains below the Chandrasekhar limit. Such an explosion is termed a nova
------------------------------
or mine
a star is formed when a dwarf has had much to eat and drink and implodes. this happens because he has accidentally burped and farted at the same time, which we all know will cause anyone to implode, sucking all the energy in around them until they shine like a star in a bar.
