Abstract: We show that under gravitational contraction of a spherical body, its internal energy increases infinitely as the body radius approaches $GM/c^2$, which leads to a negative mass defect and unavoidably to an explosion process with ejection of part of the body mass because the spherical compression is unstable. This conclusion follows exactly from the general theory of relativity in harmonic coordinates.

Keywords: Schwarzschild radius, collapse, energy–momentum pseudotensor, Hilbert causality principle, harmonic coordinates.
