In this book, we investigate the issue of the final fate of a
gravitationally collapsing massive stars and the associated cosmic
censorship problem. When the star is heavier than a few solar
masses, it could undergo an endless gravitational collapse without
achieving any equilibrium state. This happens when the star has
exhausted its internal nuclear fuel which provides the outwards
pressure against the inwards pulling gravitational forces. This
remains one of the most outstanding open issues (Islam, 1992) in
gravitation theory today. We discuss the essential features of
spherically symmetric collapse and the final fate of a massive star
which undergoes gravitational collapse. It is the spherically
symmetric collapse of a homogenous dust cloud, as described by the
Oppenheimer-Snyder model (1939), which led to the general concept
of trapped surfaces collapsed to singularities. Our objective here
is to discuss the above and such other related important questions
concerning the global aspects of gravity, and also to discuss some
applications of the results which are already available on the
global structure of space-time singularity.
