I like the analogy that stars are essentially just giant compost heaps.
The levels of energy production in the core of the sun is quite low on a
per-volume basis: a few hundred
Stars are the visible manifestation of the meta-stable equilibrium between
the explosive power of fusion and the compressive power of gravity. In the
end gravity wins - for the most part (or percentage of mass that is)

OK. I'm just a bit sceptical of the writers now, because what they said in
the bit I quoted didn't seem correct, so maybe they made other mistakes.
But in any case it's an interesting theory.

Vishnu sits in a Cosmic Egg with universes streaming out of his nose.
Poplawski theory says that the baby universe forms at the sametime as the
black hole.
I will be looking for developments of this theory where
I think you are correct. However, the extra particles produce extra spin
and torsion while the mass stayed constant.

That's very interesting. I don't understand this, though...
"The immensely high gravitational energy in this densely packed state would
cause an intense production of particles, since energy can be converted
into matter. This process would further increase the mass inside the black
hole."
Surely
He just solved equations of the theory of General Relativity with spin
called the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory of gravity,
[which] takes into account effects from quantum mechanics.

It's just going in the direction of higher energy bombs.
Not sure what comes after supernovas
unless you are willing to believe following Poplawski theory
that black holes can give birth the baby universes via baby big bangs

I don't quite see what you're getting at here.

It may not stop in the other direction.
For example to make a supernova you need fusion.
Perhaps it stops at the Big Bang, but it ain't necessarily so.

It seems unlikely that the nature of dark matter and dark energy will
change the ontological status of matter generally. A materialist, for
example, will assume that they are "more of the same" -- but less
interactive, at least with our 5%.

And to make a chemical bomb explode you need a detonator, I assume, and to
make that you need a source of electricity, I imagine, which is also down
to chemical energy of some sort. However I imagine the buck stops here, or
hereabouts.

That reminds me of turtles all the way down.
To make a fusion bomb, you need a fission bomb;
and to make a fission bomb you need a chemical bomb.

So far left out of this discussion is that the physical reality that we
observe and derive physical laws for may be only 5% of the universe, the
other 95% being comprised of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, which are
actually just placeholders for the unknown.

There are variations. Thomas Jefferson was called an atheist by his political opponents.
And they were correct since he seems to have been a deist, not a theist.
Do you think there is a difference between believing the God of Abraham does not exist and
failing to believe that He does?

Science may never answer the WHY question, but it surely must answer the HOW
