Abstract. By generalizing the Schrödinger equation to include nonlocal discrete time effects induced by high matter densities we demonstrate that the effective inertial mass of an electron or a neutron decreases. This in tum increases the degenerate Fermi pressure and leads to larger equilibrium radie for condensed stars and neutron stars. If the discrete interval reaches a critical value, it may inhibit the formation of black holes.
