it doesnt matter how big the stars are. as they burn the hydrogen in their core, particles push their way to the surface of the star before being ejected out into space, this internal pressure offsets gravitational collapse keeping the star uniform and together. when it finally burns out all its fuel then it will go supernova and probably collapse, creating a black hole, end of story.

what becomes photons of light that we see actually take thousands of years to travel from core past corona. then they travel at the constant (or is it?) speed of light we know.

Basically...

Current theory, sets C as the speed...

E=hf

The frequency changes as Einstein relative physics gets involved...

Beyond that you probably should check out the Quantum Mechanics.

Please continue, with the concept of density in some of these ideas.

If the thread gets into good discussions on Schrodinger wave equations or even wave partial duality, please PM me.

I seen on a documentary once, that their is planets out their with so much gravitational pull that if you dropped a marshmellow into the atmosphere, it would create an enormous explosion

Kinda mind boggling to even comprehend. I'm pretty sure there is even bigger stars out their than what are on this chart.

what i meant was that i read somewhere that different ends of the spectrum might actually travel at different speeds. the way they tied this into einsteins model of spacetime is that the fabric is travels across is rough and affects the speed at which light travels. interesting.
