No. Next question please.

Interesting question. From my limited knowledge black holes don't have to swallow everything in their vicinity, so I believe that it's quite possible to have a black hole in the centre of the Sun. It would be fascinating to find it on our doorstep. I love science.

Is there a question mark in the title? Then there isn't a black hole in the sun

Then why hasn't it swallowed the entire sun?

It’s thought provoking. Read the article.

Does it explain how a black hole would not swallow the sun?

The article's first two lines are literally

There is probably not a black hole in the center of the sun. Despite this detail, our goal in this work to convince the reader that this question is interesting and that work studying stars with central black holes is well motivated.
