    Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

    The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

    For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn’t exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you’ve never seen.

    Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.
