I am nothing, but I am everything
Without me, you would not be able to live
I am heavy, yet feel weightless

What am I?

A sight to behold
Yet so few see me any longer

A distance, far.

Defined by a rotation of the planet you stand on, defined by the very thing that allows you to read this question on your screen.

What am I?

Why can't white dwarf stars ever become real stars again? Why do they explode if they gain too much mass?

The Chandrasekhar Limit forbids it, so any white dwarf that gains more mass than 1.4 solar masses, or 1.4 times the mass of the sun will explode. After this limit, the white dwarf will explode in a type Ia supernova, leaving behind no stellar remnant.
